The Phillies are one game away from advancing to the National League Division series to face the Arizona Diamondbacks. Wednesday, October 11th was truly bedlam at the bank. The fans were a huge part of the 10-2 trouncing of the Atlanta Braves.
Phillies NLDS Matchup
The National League Division Series is a five-game series (first to win three games). The Los Angeles Dodgers, the two seed, took on the Arizona Diamondbacks, two National League West rivals and Zona come out victorious. And then, of course, the scared one seed, the Atlanta Braves taking on our Philadelphia Phillies.
Both the Braves and the Dodgers occupy home-field advantage in the series. They will host games one and two, be on the road for three and four (if needed), and end a game five (also if needed) at home.
Now the Phillies took game one from the Braves in Atlanta but then lost game two. Then, we return to Citizens Bank Park for games three and four. A chance to clinch is in our hands for game four AT HOME. Not to mention that if they advance to the National League Championship Series, they will take on the Arizona Diamondbacks which would give the Phillies home field advantage!
