If the Philadelphia Phillies win today (October 9, 2025), they will stave off elimination in the National League Division Series (NLDS) against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Their victory in Game 3, with a decisive 8-2 score, keeps their postseason hopes alive and forces a Game 4 in the series. Winning today means the series will return to Philadelphia for a potential Game 5, as the Phillies are currently trailing 2-1 in this best-of-five series. They must win today's game to continue competing for the NLDS title and not face a sweep by the Dodgers.
