The Philadelphia Phillies are halfway there.
Two more wins and Philadelphia is World Series bound for the second-straight year.
While we're not putting the bats away by presuming anything, it does make fans wonder if Philadelphia will have home-field advantage in the World Series.

Is home-field advantage important?
Despite what Arizona pitcher Merrill Kelly said, Citizens Bank Park is loud. It's a bonkers atmosphere that can rattle even the best teams — yes, we're looking at you Atlanta.
The Phillies were 49-32 at The Bank this season, winning 60% of their games and outscoring opponents 418-335. During the postseason, Philadelphia is 6-0 at home and outscored opponents 39-8.
So, having a home-field advantage in the World Series would be huge.
Will the Phillies have home-field advantage in the World Series?
It depends on who wins the American League Championship Series.
Home-field advantage goes to the team with the better record. If the teams have identical records, the tiebreaker is who won the season series. This is where it gets crazy.
Philadelphia, Houston and Texas all had identical 90-72 records. The Phillies won the season series against the Astros, winning a three-game series in late April at Houston. However, the Phillies opened the season against the Rangers in Arlington, Texas, and were swept.
Yes, it's an unholy union, but Phillies fans need to be cheering for an Astros rally and a rematch of the 2022 World Series.
