During the course of the baseball season, especially when your team is in the race for a playoff spot, it's fun to look at the league leaders each week.  Statistics will give you a glimpse of how your team is playing; The Phillies are currently 37-34 heading into action on Friday, which means they are eight games behind the New York Mets in the National League East and 2.5 Games out of the final NL Wild Card spot.  Kyle Schwarber is current tied for the lead in the National League with 20 Home Runs (tied with the Mets' Pete Alonso).  2021 NL MVP Bryce Harper has the fourth-best Batting Average in the National League hitting .325 as he continues to be the Phillies best player.  Harper is the Phillies leader in Batting Average, RBIs, and On-Base Percentage.  The Phillies continue their road trip in San Diego this weekend after taking game one on Thursday Night after Ranger Suarez outlasted one of the best pitchers in Baseball, Joe Musgrove.

The NBA had their annual draft on Thursday night and the Philadelphia 76ers made a deal: Sixers President Daryl Morey traded Danny Green's expiring contract and the 23rd overall pick to the Memphis Grizzlies for Two-Way Guard De’Anthony Melton.
