The Phillies ended their regular season on Sunday afternoon with a 2-1 extra-inning walk-off win against the Minnesota Twins, finishing with a 96-66 record. It’s the 6th-most regular season wins in franchise history.

Clinching their second-straight NL East title, the Phillies will kick off Red October on Saturday, October 4th at Citizens Bank Park against the winner of the Dodgers/Reds NL Wild Card Series.

If you missed it, the Mets missed the postseason. LOLMets!

The New York Mets lost and will miss the playoffs. At one point they were 45-24. They end the season at 83-79. An all-time disintegration. From the best record in the game to out of the postseason.

Obtaining home-field NLDS advantage was a ginormous accomplishment for this team. The Phillies went 55-26 at home in 2025. Their 55 wins at CBP in one season is a new franchise record. It’s the 2nd-best record they’ve ever had at home, only trailing the 1977 Phillies, who won 60 games at Veterans Stadium.

55-26 is an .865 winning percentage, which ties the 2019 Houston Astros for the best home series winning percentage across all of baseball since 1965. The Phillies’ 22-2-3 home series record is the highest in MLB this season, the best percentage in franchise history, the 5th-highest in the National League since 1900, and the best by any NL team since 1962. Over the last 162 games at Citizens Bank Park, the Phillies are 110-53.

The team will get a few days off after securing the bye a few days ago. They’ll do an intrasquad scrimmage on Wednesday night, which the Phillies have already sold 20,000 tickets for. They’ll do a couple workouts before and after that, and then Cristopher Sanchez will gets things started on Saturday the 4th.
