Philadelphia Phillies probable pitchers & starting lineups vs. Milwaukee Brewers, September 18
The lineups are set as the Phillies have a chance to clinch their playoff berth tonight against the Brewers.
The Philadelphia Phillies (91-60) have a chance to lock in their spot for the postseason tonight when they finish up their three-game series with the Milwaukee Brewers (87-64).
Their magic number is down to one, so a win and they're in. They could also just wait to see if the Atlanta Braves and New York Mets lose, but winning would be way more fun. While the Phillies have the chance to clinch tonight, the Brewers already clinched the NL Central this afternoon after the Chicago Cubs lost.
With their 5-1 win on Tuesday, the Phillies won the season series with the Brewers and secured the head-to-head seeding tiebreaker. Starter Zack Wheeler was masterful, showing why he's in contention for the NL Cy Young. He was vintage Wheeler, going seven innings, scattering four hits, giving up one run and striking out six.
Nick Castellanos and Bryce Harper both hit home runs, with Harper's two-run shot to left center in the sixth inning being the deciding blow.
