Aaron Nola (3-0, 0.96 ERA this postseason) is slated to start for the Phillies against fellow right-hander Merrill Kelly (1-1, 3.00). The Phillies inched within a win of a return trip to the World Series on Saturday night, when Zack Wheeler tossed seven innings of one-run ball and Kyle Schwarber, Bryce Harper and J.T. Realmuto homered in a 6-1 victory. The Phillies are trying to become the first NL team to win consecutive pennants since the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2017-18. Philadelphia squandered a 2-1 series lead last year against the Astros, who won the next three games to earn their second World Series championship. We think the Phillies roll, and yes this is juicy but as the old timers say, you don't pay juice when you win.
