At 87-69, the Philadelphia Phillies are getting closer and closer to clinching a second consecutive postseason berth. Their magic number for a postseason berth is down to one and can clinch with a win or a Marlins/Cubs loss on Tuesday.
The questions change for a team like the Phillies. How do they stack up in the postseason?
The first task we will have to do is to figure out how many players this team is going to need. In the wildcard round against the St. Louis Cardinals last year, they used 10 different hitters and six different pitchers for the two-game sweep.
