Philadelphia (92-62) is tied with the Los Angeles Dodgers for the best record in the majors and on track for a first-round bye in the playoffs. It's the third time the Phillies have reached the postseason three years in a row (1976-78 and 2007-11).

Bryce Harper has had a long and storied career that is nowhere near over. But the superstar first baseman may be facing his last opportunity at a World Series ring.

The Phillies clinched their third consecutive playoff appearance Friday night with a 12-2 victory over the Mets. They can secure their first NL East title since 2011 with one more win over New York this weekend.
