The Phillies enter at 87-74, one game ahead of Arizona for the final NL Wild Card. A Philadelphia win clinches a fifth straight postseason appearance; the Phillies also get in with a Diamondbacks loss to San Diego . Arizona owns the tiebreaker if the clubs finish tied.

Philadelphia is in this position after a brutal late-season slide. The Phillies held a 6½-game lead over Arizona on Sept. 1 but have gone 9-14 in September and enter Sunday on a four-game losing streak. Tampa Bay made matters worse Saturday with a 12-1 rout, pounding out 17 hits as Junior Caminero hit his 42nd home run of the season.

The Phillies will hand the ball to Zack Wheeler , who is 13-5 with a 3.06 ERA and 188 strikeouts, while Tampa Bay counters with Nick Martinez , who is 15-5 with a 2.94 ERA. First pitch is set for 3:05 PM ET, with coverage on NBC Sports Philadelphia and Rays.TV.
