Daily News | Phillies likely to face Cardinals in playoffs after getting blanked 10-0 by Astros
HOUSTON — There are plenty of reasons why, when presented with the choice of facing the Mets or the St. Louis Cardinals, the Phillies would choose the Cardinals. The Mets were just swept in three games in Atlanta, but have won 14 of 19 games played against the Phillies this season. The Phillies have faced the Cardinals fewer times — only seven games this season — but have gone 4-3 over that span.
As every fan knows, it took the Phillies eleven years to return to the postseason. So it would feel somewhat fitting for them to face the Cardinals, in St. Louis, eleven years to the day after their last playoff appearance. At this point, the games don’t really matter. The Phillies are playing for seeding, if they’re playing for anything. So, Thomson sat his regulars on Tuesday afternoon, with the exception of Bryce Harper, Bryson Stott and Alec Bohm. Suárez went into outing with the goal of reaching 65 pitches.
