Tim McGraw made an epic entrance with the Phillie Phanatic during the NLCS Game One in Philadelphia. The country music superstar has long been known to be a Phillies fan since his dad played on the 1980 championship team.
Game one is in the books with a huge win for Philadelphia, 5-3 over the Arizona Diamondbacks. These two teams both came out of the Wild Card, the Phillies are the fourth seed and Arizona occupies the sixth seed. Now don’t sleep on the D-Backs because they completed two sweeps in the playoffs including that of the number two-seeded Dodgers.
Game 1: Monday, October 16th – 8:07 pm EST in Philadelphia (Phillies Win 5-3)
Game 2: Tuesday, October 17th – 8:07pm EST in Philadelphia
Game 3: Thursday, October 19th – 5:07pm EST in Arizona
Game 4: Friday, October 20th – 8:07pm EST in Arizona
Game 5: Saturday, October 21st – 8:07 pm EST in Arizona (if necessary)
Game 6: Monday, October 23rd – 5:07 pm EST in Philadelphia (if necessary)
Game 7: Tuesday, October 24th – 8:07 pm EST in Philadelphia (if necessary)
The NLCS Matchup
The Philadelphia Phillies are in their second straight National League Championship Series. Last year, they played the San Diego Padres and beat them to be awarded the title of National League Champions.
This year, they will take on the Arizona Diamondbacks who just barely squeaked into the playoffs with an 84-78 record. They are the sixth-seeded team in the National League side of the postseason bracket. That’s the seed the Phillies occupied last season.
Now despite being the last team in, don’t sleep on the Diamondbacks. They swept the Brewers (who won the NL Central) in the Wild Card Round in Milwaukee, then swept the number two-seeded Los Angeles Dodgers. SWEPT THEM. That’s impressive. They haven’t lost a game this playoff season.
But the good news is, the Diamondbacks have a worse regular season than the Phillies, so the series starts and ends in Philadelphia, home field advantage baby!!
