The Phillies still have one last run left in them to make the postseason.
As Tug McGraw once said, “Ya Gotta Believe.” The Philadelphia Phillies are not only playing for their first postseason berth in a decade, but also their first winning record — having finished .500 or worse in every season since their disappointing 2011 NLDS finish against the Cardinals.
There is still reason to believe, especially when the team has a Cy Young-caliber pitcher in Zack Wheeler and an MVP-caliber corner outfielder in Bryce Harper.
