The Philadelphia Phillies have put themselves in contention for the National League's second wild card spot, although they have some work to do as they sit four games back. The club will turn to Cliff Lee on Monday night as they begin a three-game series with the Mets, who have been out of the playoff chase for months. Despite their shortcomings this season, R.A. Dickey is arguably the Cy Young favorite and could give Philadelphia problems this evening.
The lineups for both clubs have been released.
