The Philadelphia Phillies are more than ready for the MLB postseason to begin. With three regular season series remaining, the NL East champions are rolling. They've proven that they can beat the league's top contenders, as they're an MLB-best 43-33 against teams over .500. They're coming off a series victory against the mighty Los Angeles Dodgers, who may be their toughest postseason challenger in the National League.
It was huge for them to win the season series over the Dodgers and take a head-to-head tiebreaker that could come into play for the No. 2 seed and a first-round bye.
