Heading into the postseason, the Phillies will rely on stars like Bryce Harper and Zack Wheeler, a leading Cy Young Award contender. Harper has battled injuries throughout the season but remains a key player for the team. Despite facing tough competition, the Phillies are confident in their ability to compete and win in the playoffs.
While the Phillies will enjoy a bye for the wild-card round, they are focused on securing a top seed for the NL Championship Series. The Dodgers currently hold a slight lead over the Phillies for the top spot, but Philadelphia is not far behind. The team is prepared to face any challenger in the postseason with the goal of bringing the Commissioner’s Trophy back to Philadelphia.
