Phillies play Brewers with playoff berth opportunity tonight at Citizens Bank Park
Summary

The Philadelphia Phillies face the Milwaukee Brewers tonight at 6:40 p.m. at Citizens Bank Park, with a chance to clinch a playoff berth. The Phillies (87-70) are currently tied with the Chicago Cubs and San Diego Padres for the top wild-card spot, with a magic number of two. To secure a spot, the Phillies must win their game, and either the Arizona Diamondbacks need to lose to the Colorado Rockies, or the San Diego Padres must lose to the Los Angeles Dodgers. The playoff tiebreaker scenarios also favor the Phillies in a multi-team tie due to their season series results against Chicago and San Diego.
