Los Angeles, however, faces the Diamondbacks, who are gunning for the final NL Wild Card spot, and the Mariners, who are fighting for home-field advantage in the AL themselves. That final Wild Card spotThis is interesting to the Phillies, because they'll be facing in the NLDS — assuming they get the 2-seed — the winner of the 3-vs-6 Wild card series. If they can keep the heat on L.A.it will force them to be less prepared for the Wild Card round. As we outlined, the Phillies need two L.A. losses to sew up a first-round bye. Arizona is also a game back for the last NL Wild Card spot.
