Daily News | Projecting the Phillies’ playoff roster: Who’s in, who’s out in series vs. Mets or Cardinals
— the magic number was down to one entering Monday night’s game in Houston — so it’s time to begin thinking seriously about putting together a postseason roster.Despite having not yet secured their spot in the six-team NL field, the Phillies were only one game behind the San Diego Padres for the No. 5 seed. It’s possible, then, that they could face either the St. Louis Cardinals or the New York Mets in the best-of-three wild-card series that will open Friday.
Barring injuries this week in Houston, 19 spots appear to be taken based on Thomson’s lineups and bullpen usage: Games 1, 2, and 3 starters Zack Wheeler, Aaron Nola, and Ranger Suárez; high-leverage relievers Seranthony Domínguez, lefty José Alvarado, David Robertson, and Zach Eflin; lineup fixtures J.T.
The Cardinals lack a clear-cut No. 1 starter but possess a deep rotation that includes a mixture of right-handers and lefties . The bullpen features two lefties , maybe more depending on how Montgomery and Quintana are used.
