The first game on today's playoff slate is between the Philadelphia Phillies and the San Diego Padres.
These two teams achieved the NRFI yesterday and it's shaping up to be the same today. Aaron Nola in the regular season was phenomenal to the NRFI, posting a 27-4 NRFI record with a 13-2 road NRFI split.
Nola has also been nothing short of phenomenal in the postseason. His most important matchups today will be against Juan Soto, who is 9-for-33, Josh Bell, who is 3-for-19, and Manny Machado, who is 1-for-13.
