If the Phillies play well over the next two weeks they have a chance to catapult ahead of the Giants, who are about to begin their toughest stretch of the season.
• 10 straight against the Reds, Padres and Cubs, who will also be fighting for wild-card position
During San Francisco's upcoming gauntlet of games, the Phillies have 10 against the last-place Nationals and Cardinals, seven at home. They've gone just 3-3 against Washington so far and haven't played St. Louis. They'll spend the week on the road — three at Citi Field against the Mets, three in Toronto. Then comes a soft two-week period with 12 straight games against the White Sox, Royals, Tigers and Pirates. Don't be surprised if the Cubs also close their gap on the Giants.The Marlins are 5-16 since the All-Star break. They opened the second half with eight consecutive losses and have dropped six of their last seven.
