With just 2 games left in the regular season for every team, there are few postseason scenarios that still need to be decided. The Phillies upset win over the Astros last night allowed them to clinch the final NL wildcard spot. Therefore, the only things left to determine are the exact seedings. It's been a rough week for Philly to get that final spot and it ultimately eliminated the Brewers. It'll be interesting to see how both of these teams approach tonight's game, but let's make it a profitable one.

Houston Astros -1.5 (+114) over Philadelphia Phillies
Now that the Phillies have finally clinched their postseason berth, there is a very high chance they rest some key players. They expected to have this wrapped up earlier, but they were swept by the Cubs last week and even lost a game to the Nationals over the weekend. Therefore, this team is exhausted both physically and mentally. There is no need for them to further drain themselves just before the playoffs, especially when they're taking on the best team in the American League. Not only do the Phillies have the unfortunate task of facing arguably the best team in baseball, they have to do so against their ace on Tuesday.'
