The Phillies are in the playoffs! For the first time since 2011, the Fightins will take the field in the postseason, and as fate would have it, they’ll be matched up against the same team that defeated them the last time they were here.
Most pundits as well as Las Vegas oddsmakers expect the Cardinals to similarly win this time around. But it seems that those people are paying a little too much attention to the names on the front of the uniforms, and not enough attention to the names on the back. Who cares that the Cardinals have had more success both historically and in recent seasons?
