The MLB is getting closer to the end of the regular season, so it isn’t a surprise that most of the divisions already have a new champion that will represent them in the playoffs. On the NL East Division case, Philadelphia Phillies have already crowned as divisional champions with some games yet to be played, being well-known that they’ll try to keep the winning mode.
With that in mind, the Phillies will receive the last game of the series against Chicago Cubs next Wednesday, September 25th at 04:05 pm Central Time. In this regard, even when the Phillies have already qualified for the playoffs, this is still a must-win game as mathematically the Brewers could still send them to the Wild Card games, so Kyle Schwarber must continue with the productive journey that allowed him to hit 37 home runs so far this season.
Meanwhile, Chicago Cubs are already eliminated from the competition, so they must start thinking about the next season and which players could be hired to try to convert into a more competitive team. Despite that concerning context, the Cubs made such a great deal last April 2023, when they successfully extended Ian Happ’s contract until 2026, player that has scored 88 runs and 25 home runs this season.
