Like two prizefighters clinching at the end of a heavyweight bout, the Dodgers and Phillies are exhausted rounding into the last third of the season. The Dodgers wrapped up 3-5 road trip--replete with multiple off-days, separating largely west-coast travel--with two wins over the feeble Oakland A's. The Dodgers are 4-6 over their last ten games, watching their division lead on the Padres shrink to 4.5 games.
The Phillies own the best record in the National League and have been coasting all season, but even they have hit the skids: 2-8 over their last ten games, including getting swept by the Yankees at home.
