Power Series
Neither the Phillies nor the Brewers hit for a high average in their NLDS. The Phillies hit .250, the Brewers .206. Where the Phillies made a difference was with their power. Of their 32 hits, 17 went for extra bases. Only four of the Brewers 26 hits managed to be long hits. They'll be facing a Dodgers team with a similar LDS offense. Los Angeles hit .250 against the Cubs, but 12 of their 26 hits resulted in extra bases.
