Phillies in Playoff Crosshairs | Atlanta Braves News

The Phillies are in a tight spot after dropping two of three in St. Louis, falling out of playoff contention for the first time since early June—though they’re still on pace for 85 wins and a 68% chance at October. The Braves loom large with seven September games against Philly; losing five would be disastrous. Meanwhile, the Padres are on fire, winning five straight and seven of ten, bolstered by deadline moves that’ve turned them into a powerhouse. The Diamondbacks are also surging, ranking elite in both hitting and pitching. With every game now critical, this stretch is shaping up to be a brutal, nail-biting race for postseason spots.
