EX-TEAM KARMA: TAIJUAN COULD CLINCH PHILS PLAYOFFS VS METS!

Taijuan Walker is in line to pitch for the Phillies Monday.

If the southpaw can lead his team to a victory, then the Phillies will clinch the second Wild Card spot in the National League.

A series win over the Houston Astros already punched their ticket to the postseason.

However, there is still a slim chance that they could catch the Atlanta Braves for the NL East crown.

The Phillies would need to win their final two games and the Braves would have to lose both of their games against the Miami Marlins.

This scenario seems unlikely as the Marlins have been eliminated from playoff contention.

Walker is 3-1 with a 1.63 ERA against the Mets this season.

He has struck out 23 batters in 22 innings pitched.

The Phillies have won four of their last five games against the Mets.

They will be looking to continue their success against their division rivals and clinch a playoff berth.

The game is scheduled to start at 7:05 p.m. ET on Monday night.

It will be televised on ESPN.

The Phillies are hoping that Taijuan Walker can lead them to a victory and a playoff berth.

If he can do so, it would be a great story for a team that has been through a lot this season.
