The Philadelphia Phillies clinching a playoff berth will have to wait at least another night.

ESPN's Kiley McDaniel ranked the Phillies' rotation as the third-best in MLB entering the playoffs. Even with Jesus Luzardo's injury, this rotation is more than capable of carrying the Phillies deep into October. "3. Philadelphia Phillies. The candidates: Cristopher Sanchez, Jesus Luzardo, Zack Wheeler, Aaron Nola, Andrew Painter," McDaniel writes.

Where are the Arizona Diamondbacks in the MLB Wild Card standings? The D-backs are hoping to catch either the Phillies or Padres.

Aidan Miller, Dante Nori, and Carson DeMartini had injuries that kept them out mnultiple months. They got healthy at the right time.

The expectation in league circles was that Alex Cora’s decision would ultimately come down to the Philadelphia Phillies and New York Mets. And now the Mets have made another hire.

The offense was already in post-season form as the Philadelphia Phillies (87-71) were stifled by the Milwaukee Brewers (99-59) on Wednesday night in the middle stanza of their penultimate series of the regular season.
