If you picked Philadelphia Phillies star Kyle Schwarber to win the 2025 home run crown, you’ll be glad to know at least one ESPN simulation agrees. However, we get the sense that the experiment has Schwarber massively exceeding your expectations.

Kyle Schwarber is another Phillies slugger who went deep on MLB Opening Day and he is one of the top power hitters in all of baseball. Schwarber and the Phillies will be facing Jake Irvin of the Washington Nationals, and it's a great spot to predict another home run for Schwarber.

Jesús Luzardo (1-0) struck out 11 in five innings in his Phillies debut. The only scoring he allowed came on Keibert Ruiz’s two-run homer in the second. The Phillies tied it on Bryson Stott’s two-run shot in the fourth off Jake Irvin, who also lasted five innings.

The Philadelphia Phillies were led by their two best power-hitters on Thursday against the Washington Nationals.
