On Thursday afternoon, the Philadelphia Phillies and Chicago Cubs will conclude their three-game series at Wrigley Field. The matchup features one team fighting to make the playoffs and another that has long been thinking about next season. However, you may not be able to tell which team is which based on the first two games of this series.
The Cubs have taken the first two games by a final of 2-1 on Tuesday and 4-2 last night. The Cubs improved to 69-86 on the season and have won seven of their last 10 games.
For the Phillies, the loss was their four straight and seventh in their last 10 games. The Phillies are clinging to the third wild card spot in the NL and hold a half-game lead over the Milwaukee Brewers. Milwaukee hosts the Marlins on Thursday night, meaning the team will know it can move in front of Philadelphia should it slip up again. Will the Phillies bats step up and help the team maintain its playoff standing?
