Last year, the Philadelphia Phillies were the Cinderella story of the MLB postseason. They snuck in with the final National League Wild Card spot and eliminated the St. Louis Cardinals, the rival Atlanta Braves, and the San Diego Padres to win the pennant. Ultimately, the Phillies fell two wins short of winning their first World Series, falling in six games to the Houston Astros.
In 2023, the Phillies clinched the top Wild Card spot in the league with a 90-72 record. The team will look to finish what they started last year, and that's bring home their first Commissioner's Trophy since 2008. Their first test will come in the Wild Card Series, when they host the rival Miami Marlins.
