00:00Right now, the Phillies are tied for that second wild card spot with the Padres.
00:04Right.
00:05You look at the remaining schedules for the Phillies, the Padres,
00:09and then the team that's nipping at their heels,
00:12the Arizona Diamondbacks, who are only a game back.
00:14The Phillies by far have the tougher schedule.
00:17In their next 37 games, leading them hopefully to October,
00:2225 of them are against teams above .500.
00:26The Phillies' record so far this year against teams above .500
00:29is 23-30.
00:31So if they do what they've done all season long,
00:35they're going to miss the playoffs.
00:36If they go 23-30, that type of winning percentage
00:40in the next 25 games against teams above .500,
00:43they're going to lose that wild card spot.
00:45There's no more rope left.
00:47Right?
00:47I mean, you're going to be playing good teams.
00:49You're going to have to win the majority of those series.
00:52The Padres have had a half a season of being garbage.
00:56And they have really turned it around.
00:58They've come on strong.
01:00They made some big-time moves at the trade deadline.
01:03The Diamondbacks are just a pesky bunch.
01:07And you know what?
01:08Don't look too far.
01:09But this team that is in here right now
01:12is not that far behind the Phillies.
01:15What about Miami?
01:16Yeah, if the Marlins come in here and beat them.
01:19Let's say they win two out of three.
01:21They're right in the thick of this thing.
01:22Let's say they win two out of three.
01:22Let's say they win two out of three.
01:22Let's say they win two out of three.
