Philadelphia Phillies vs. New York Yankees: Preview, Pitching Matchup, and Props for July 25

The Philadelphia Phillies are looking to snap a three game losing streak as they host the New York Yankees on July 25, 2026 at Citizens Bank Park. First pitch is set for 6:05 p.m. After a heartbreaking 1-0 loss against New York the previous night, the Phillies (56-48) need to find a groove at the plate and defend their home turf, a struggle for much of this season. Local fans can tune into the broadcast on NBC Sports Philadelphia.

The Yankees (58-45) are as hot as the Phillies are cold, winning four of their last five games. They ride the momentum of a 1-0 shutout victory over the Phillies on July 24, Paul Goldschmidt’s fourth inning homer providing all the scoring on a night the Yankees managed just three hits.

Betting Odds

• The Yankees sit as a -130 favorite as of 2 p.m., but that could swing once the Phillies pick a starter.

Weather

It is shaping up to be a beautiful evening for baseball at Citizens Bank Park, with sunny skies and a warm 83 degrees expected at the 6:05 p.m. ET first pitch. Humidity will hover at a comfortable 50 percent, trending up as the night goes on; a 6 mile per hour crossbreeze with gusts up to 15 miles per hour could knock down fly balls.

Pitching Matchup

The Yankees will send Ryan Weathers to the mound; the Philadelphia Phillies haven’t yet announced a starter. Weathers enters the matchup with a 4.40 ERA and a 1.27 WHIP across 102.1 innings this season. That ERA is slightly above league average, but his ability to miss bats (10.11 K/9) could impact the prop betting market.

Phillies vs. Ryan Weathers

The Philadelphia Phillies’ lineup has historically enjoyed significant success against Yankees starter Ryan Weathers, showcasing considerable power in their head-to-head matchups. Leading the charge is Kyle Schwarber, who has crushed Weathers to the tune of a .500 average (3-for-6) with two home runs, four RBI and an otherworldly 1.667 slugging percentage. Bryan De La Cruz, currently trying to revive his career, has been equally destructive, boasting a .600 average (3-for-5) with two homers. Even in a smaller sample size, Bryce Harper has inflicted damage, going 2-for-3 (.667) with a home run.

While several key Phillies hitters have thrived against Weathers, others have struggled to find their footing. Edmundo Sosa has managed just one hit in six at-bats (.167), though he did make it count with a home run. Weathers held Alec Bohm to a .200 average (1-for-5), and Adolis García remains hitless in three career at-bats (.000), despite managing to drive in a run. Philadelphia will look for their heavy hitters to continue their historical dominance against Weathers to set the tone early in this matchup.

Props

Player props market offers some compelling options, particularly for hitters with strong track records against Weathers: Schwarber stands out as a prime candidate. Bettors can find Schwarber at a lucrative +279 to hit a home run, but a slightly safer approach might be taking him to go over 1.5 total bases at +123. Considering his massive slugging percentage and past success in this head-to-head matchup, both props carry significant appeal.

Bryce Harper also presents an intriguing option after previously taking Weathers deep in limited at-bats. The Phillies’ superstar is listed at +131 to eclipse 1.5 total bases, a solid value for a hitter of his caliber looking to do damage. Finally, for those expecting Philadelphia’s stars to find their rhythm, Trea Turner to go over 1.5 total bases at +109 offers another attractive angle as the lineup attempts to shake off last night’s shutout and jumpstart the offense.
