They're focused on getting there, and for now, worrying about the last-place Nationals, a team that has historically given them fits. Philadelphia is 9-6 against Washington this season.
A sweep of the Nats this weekend puts the Phils in the postseason regardless of how the Brewers and Mets finish. Those two can then battle for the Wild Card. It's that simple.
"Here we go again," Rollins said, in reference to the Nationals. "It happened last year. We were in the same situation, and it came down to the last three, a team that matches up well against us, played well against us. But it doesn't matter. We have to win games."
Philadelphia won two of three against Washington that weekend, enough to complete a surge past New York on the season's final day. A 13-4 run in the last 17 games earned the club a ticket to October.
80% chance of Thundershowers tonight in Philly. Doesn't sound too good but we'll see. The Mets played in the rain for much of their game last night against the Cubs.
