Phillies magic numbers stand at 6 for a postseason berth, 9 to clinch the NL East, and 14 for a first‑round bye. A 9-3 win over the Mets tightens Philadelphia's grip on October and nudges them closer to a fourth straight playoff appearance.

Sánchez gets the start at 6:45 p.m. vs. New York, with Holmes on the bump for the Mets. That head‑to‑head tilt could swing fantasy ownership and betting angles as the season winds down.

TV is NBCSP; radio 94WIP/WDEL; streaming in‑market via nbcsportsphiladelphia.com and the NBCSP app, plus MLB.TV and MLB Audio for broader access.

The Giants and Dodgers loom as the nearest threats in the race for postseason seeding and byes, while the Mets press to chase the NL East crown. Late‑season drama piles up for fantasy managers tracking rotation depth and bullpen usage.
