Phillies' magic number down to two, can clinch first-round bye on TuesdayEntering play on Tuesday, the Phillies’ magic number to clinch a first-round bye is down to two. That means that any combination of Phillies wins and Dodgers losses will result in the Phillies clinching a bye past the first round Wild Card Series. The Dodgers’ schedule isn’t quite as easy as the Phillies'. Phillies first baseman Bryce Harper is a fan of the first-round bye, according to MLB.com’s Todd Zolecki, despite it not working out for his team last year. I would love a couple days off, obviously.”Once the Phillies clinch the first-round bye we may see them ease off the gas pedal a little.
