The postseason series is the Phillies first since the 2024 season.
At 87-70, the Philadelphia sits 3.5 games in back of the New York Mets in the National League East Division with five games left in the regular season.
In the wild-card race, the Phillies currently own the top-seed as they hold a three-game edge over the St. Louis Cardinals.

The Phillies last World Series championship came in 2008, when they defeated the Tampa Bay Rays.
