The Philadelphia Phillies have clinched the National League East division for the second year in a row.
The Phillies are currently 91-62 on the season, with eight games to follow in the coming week to close out the regular season. The Phillies are the 2nd seed in the National League, with the Brewers leading the Phillies by two games.
Kyle Schwarber has been the go to guy for Philadelphia this season, with 53 home runs on the season. Schwarber is the 2nd Phillie ever to hit 50 homeruns in a season, setting his expectations high for the upcoming post-season run.
Zach Wheeler, the team’s star pitcher in the playoffs in previous seasons, has been ruled out after having surgery to repair a blood clot in his right shoulder.
The Phillies will take the playoff bases starting October 4th, in the National League Divisional Series.
