Here are the projected pitching match-ups for the Phils-Astros series:
Nola vs McCullers
Suarez vs Verlander
Falter vs Valdez
Other notes:
San Diego = 87-72 ( 3 games vs Giants )
PHILLIES = 86-73 ( 3 games AT Astros )
Brewers = 84-75 ( 3 games vs D-backs)
Phillies won season series vs Padres, 4 games to 3!
IMHO, I don't give a rats rear-end who the Phillies play in the playoffs. If I hear the Phillies need to finish 3rd, or, finish 2nd, to play the easiest team, balony! Right now, it's out of their control. Just make the damn playoffs!
