If Philadelphia defeats the Milwaukee Brewers Wednesday in Milwaukee, and the Atlanta Braves lose to the Cincinnati Reds, the Phillies will have secured a playoff spot for the third consecutive season. The Phillies haven't had a run of success like this since Philadelphia won five straight National League East titles between 2007 and 2011.

Another Red October is just a couple of weeks away in Philadelphia. Phillies fans hoping to be part of " four hours of hell " at Citizens Bank Park this fall can now enter a lottery for tickets. The Phillies have opened registration for fans to buy postseason tickets.

The game will be on NBCSP and MLB Network for those out of market. The radio broadcast will be on 94WIP and WDEL 101.7 FM/1150 AM.
