Friday night, the Seattle Mariners ended what was the longest current MLB playoff drought in dramatic fashion against the Oakland A's. Tonight, the Philadelphia Phillies can end their own long postseason dry spell with a win over the Houston Astros.
It's quite the tough assignment to have to navigate to wrap up the remaining unaccounted-for spot in the playoffs. But thanks to winning three of four against the Washington Nationals and the Miami Marlins somehow taking three of four from the Milwaukee Brewers, the Phils will ensure extra baseball with one win at Minute Maid Park.
