Phillies starting pitchers will be the key for them to get a needed sweep against the Rays this weekend
The Philadelphia Phillies enter their weekend series against the Tampa Bay Rays within a game of a postseason spot — either as second place in the National League East or as one of the two Wild Card teams.
Given the stakes, the Phillies have their two best pitchers scheduled to start this weekend. The probable starters, according to MLB.com, are Vince Velasquez on Friday, Zack Wheeler on Saturday, and Aaron Nola on Sunday.
