September baseball is here, and the Philadelphia Phillies got off to a winning start by taking the series opener against the Milwaukee Brewers, the best team in baseball. The Phillies head into the final month of the 2025 regular season still at the top of the National League East. They still have a comfortable division lead, even after last week's sweep at Citi Field at the hands of the New York Mets, and a second straight division title is well within reach.
A spot in the postseason seems like a sure thing. But where will the Phillies finish in the pecking order?
