Phillies Postseason Scenarios and Predictions - Monday 9/30

This weekend's MLB results resolved most questions surrounding the Phillies' postseason picture.

What We Know

- The Phillies are the National League's number two seed. They will have home field advantage over any opponent other than the Dodgers.

- The Phils have a better record than any American League team, which would give them home field advantage in any World Series matchup.

- The three-seed Brewers will face the NL's six seed in a wild card series beginning Tuesday. The winner of that best-of-three series will face the Phillies in the NLDS.

- Game one of the NLDS will be played at Citizens Bank Bark on Saturday. MLB has not yet announced the exact time.

- The Phillies' NLDS opponent will be the Brewers, Mets, or Diamondbacks.

MLB Standings Entering Monday

Mets/Braves Doubleheader Outcomes

The Mets and Braves will kick off a season-ending doubleheader on Monday.

- If the Mets win both games, they will get the NL's five seed and the Diamondbacks will get the NL's six seed.

- If the Braves win both games, they will get the NL's five seed and the Diamondbacks will get the NL's six seed.

- If the Mets and Braves split the doubleheader, the Braves will get the five seed and the Mets will get the six seed.

Prediction: A split is the most likely doubleheader outcome. The team that wins game one will not have much incentive to win game two. The Diamondbacks would miss the playoffs.
