PHI 10, ARI 0

Or, "The Valiant Struggle For Second Place." The Phillies poured on the points last night, most notably Trea Turner, whose steady accumulation of TB over the past few weeks has him tied for the pool's top number at the moment. Pretty fun to watch from a baseball-fan standpoint -- chicks don't solely dig the long ball, but this one loves 'em -- and kiiiind of fun from a pool standpoint, but at the same time it's like the '73 Belmont over here. 

Se-Crase-tariat boosted that lead up over 20 points; from here, it's really up to Schwarber and some Texans to get anyone else paid. The Schwarb did his part...

Last night's bounty:

Carroll 0

Castellanos 0
Harper 1
Schwarber 8
Stott 2
Turner 4

I don't care to speculate on tonight's match-up, because I don't know Javier...and I have learned from painful experience not to try to guess which Husky Eye is going to show up. I can say that if the Astros can't chase Scherzer early and get the streaky Rangers' luck going in the other direction, this series is functionally over.

We'll find out either way at 8:03 ET on...FS1? It's somewhere in the FOX cinematic universe. Good luck, all!
