Entering play on Wednesday, Sept. 28, here’s where the Philadelphia Phillies stand in their quest to reach the postseason for the first time since 2011.
Where Are The Phillies In The Standings?
Increasingly, it appears that the Phillies will be the third Wild Card team or miss the postseason. The San Diego Padres (86-68) now have a 2 1/2 game cushion over the Phillies (83-70) for the second Wild Card in the National League after an extra-inning win over the Los Angeles Dodgers Tuesday. The Phillies are 1 1/2 games ahead of the Milwaukee Brewers for the third and final Wild Card spot.
