With their 12-2 win over the New York Mets on Friday night, the Phillies have secured a spot in the 2024 MLB Postseason. This marks the third consecutive season the Phillies are eligible for postseason play; they lost the World Series in 2022 and the National League Championship Series in 2023, respectively. It’s also the third time in franchise history the club has made three consecutive appearances. The 1976-78 Phillies made it to three consecutive NLCS’s and the 2007-2011 club made five consecutive MLB Postseason appearances including back-to-back World Series trips (2008, 2009).
However, there’s still work to be done. The Phillies can still clinch the 2024 National League East title and a first-round bye in the 2024 MLB Postseason. Here’s a look at those scenarios.
