Both opponents thoroughly handled the young Phillies team, if not outright embarrassing them at times. Both teams also appear headed to the postseason again.
If the season ended today, the Phillies would have faced playoff bound teams a total of 44 times. These teams include the Nationals, Cubs, Dodgers, Blue Jays, and Indians as division leaders and the Cardinals and Giants as Wild Card teams.

The Phillies record against these teams is 16-28, a full 12 games under .500. As a whole, the Phillies currently stand at 60-70, 10 games under .500. The math works out very close to this: a third of their total games were against these teams and they resulted in close to half their losses and only a quarter of their wins.
