Pennsylvania was the fourth state to allow online sports betting and the seventh to start accepting legal sports wagers.
Let's take a look below at what Pennsylvania bettors can key in on for Philadelphia's postseason:
The sixth-placed Phillies (87-74 entering Wednesday's regular-season finale) will take on the NL Central Division Champion and third-placed St. Louis Cardinals (93-68) at Busch Stadium in a best-of-three Wild-Card series (all in St. Louis) starting with Friday's game 1 (2:07 pm ET on ABC).

Eleven years to the date, the Phillies, who began with Zack Wheeler (12-7, 2.82 ERA) in Game 1 vs. Adam Wainwright (11-12, 3.71), have gone 4-3 against the Cardinals this season.
The second-placed NL East champion Atlanta Braves (101-60) await the winner in the NLDS. Atlanta went 4-3 against the Cardinals and 11-8 against the division-rival Phillies this year.
