Phillies playoff rooting guide: A current look at the NL postseason picture
The Philadelphia Phillies are currently positioned as the fifth seed in the National League postseason. Under this scenario, they would face the Chicago Cubs in a three-game series in Chicago. The winner of that series would advance to face Milwaukee in a five-game NLDS.
If the season ended today, the Phillies would be the 5-seed, and would play the Cubs in a best of three series in Chicago — with the chance to head to Milwaukee for a best of five NLDS.
