It was an up-and-down season for the Philadelphia Phillies. It began with a 22-29 start. That led to the ousting of manager Joe Girardi. The team was able to right the ship under interim manager Rob Thompson and went 65-46 the rest of the way.
Even an injury to 2021 NL MVP Bryce Harper could not derail the momentum. As a result, the Phillies earned the third wild-card spot in the NL and ended a 10-year playoff drought in the process. Their reward is the St. Louis Cardinals in the NL Wild Card Round.
The Cardinals spent much of the first half in second place. However, the team went 43-25 and pulled away from the Milwaukee Brewers to claim the NL Central title. The Cardinals earned the third seed in the NL and the right to host this series.
The pitching matchup is set with Phillies ace Zach Wheeler going against Jose Quintana for the Cardinals. Let’s cook up a same-game parlay to begin this series.
