The Phillies didn’t put their best foot forward against the Brewers, but thankfully played well enough to pull out a win in the finale. Now they’ll travel to Southern California to face their opponent from the 2022 NLCS. The Padres are all but eliminated from the playoffs, but there’s still enough talent on hand to make this series more dangerous than the standings would indicate.
