## Resource

Eliot Shorr-Parks and Spike Eskin break down the Phillies' historic 21-win August and the potential postseason pitching rotation. They debate whether Zach Wheeler's veteran status should guarantee him a Game 1 start over more consistent recent performers. Additionally, they explore the value of winning the NL East or top Wild Card spot to secure some home field advantage.
