Phillies at Brewers: September 24th through September 27th

Thursday & Friday 8:05, Saturday 7:05, Sunday 2:05

Records: Phillies 88-63, 1st Place in NL East (6½ games ahead of the Braves); Brewers 75-77, 3rd Place in NL Central (13½ games behind the Cardinals)

Champagne on Ice?: The Phils have a very real possibility of wrapping this thing up in Milwaukee. Any combination of Phillies wins and Braves losses totalling 5 get us there. The Braves open a series in Washington on Friday night, so I'll become a huge Nationals fan for the weekend.

Magic Number: 5. It bears repeating.

Phillies Probables: J.A. Happ, Cliff Lee, Pedro Martinez, Joe Blanton

Brewers Probables: Jeff Suppan, Manny Parra, Braden Looper, Dave Bush
