IT’S CLINCH WEEK. MAGIC NUMBER DOWN TO 5.
It’s the week we’ve been waiting for. Clinch week 2011.
A Phillies win or Cardinals loss will clinch a playoff spot.
A combination of five Phillies wins or Braves losses clinches the NL East. The fifth consecutive year.
A combination of seven Phillies wins or Brewers losses clinches home field advantage through the playoffs (I think).
With 18 games to play, we’ll be seeing a lot of the regulars getting rest. The rotation will probably go the distance with Kendrick pitching the first game of a doubleheader on Thursday against the Marlins.
How many games with the Phillies win in the end?
