There are about two months to go in the 2026 Major League Baseball<\/a> regular season, with four months of ball already in the rearview. It’s time for the final push to the playoffs, and two of the teams with their eye firmly on the postseason head to Sunday Night Baseball<\/a> on NBC and Peacock<\/a> this week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Because they’re in separate leagues, this is the first interleague series between the American League’s New York Yankees<\/a> and the National League’s Philadelphia Phillies<\/a> this season. But within their own leagues and divisions<\/a>, both teams have already put on quite a show. They both boast solid pitching rotations, they both have great sluggers, and they’re both on a quest to dethrone the Los Angeles Dodgers and win the 2026 World Series. And this weekend, live from Philadelphia, we’ll see them square off in primetime on NBC and Peacock.<\/p>\n

What to expect from Yankees vs. Phillies: Kyle Schwarber vs. Ben Rice<\/p>\n

Both the Yankees and the Phillies have reason to be hopeful about the postseason right now. They’re currently not at the top of their respective divisions, but they’re close, and both teams boast batting, pitching, and fielding talent that could take them far. On paper, though, the Phillies seem like the favorites heading into Sunday’s game.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Why? Well, at the plate, Kyle Schwarber<\/a> remains the best slugger of 2026, though the Yankees’ Ben Rice<\/a> is not far behind. At the mound, Philadelphia will star Christopher Sanchez, who boasts one of the best records and best strikeout counts of any pitcher in the MLB right now. It’s clear that the Phillies are putting their best foot forward on Sunday night to notch a primetime win. Now we just have to see how hard the Yankees push back, especially at the end of a three-game series which began Friday.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There are about two months to go in the 2026 Major League Baseball regular season, with four months…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":763151,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2288],"tags":[5,47564,13726,2328,2304,4,2305,2303,3625,38330,13133,58524],"class_list":["post-763150","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb-postseason","tag-baseball","tag-episodic","tag-hub","tag-major-league-baseball-playoffs","tag-major-league-baseball-postseason","tag-mlb","tag-mlb-playoffs","tag-mlb-postseason","tag-nbc-sports","tag-peacock","tag-sunday-night-baseball","tag-where-to-watch"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116994288120297128","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/763150","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=763150"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/763150\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/763151"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=763150"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=763150"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=763150"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
