  "account": "The Philadelphia Phillies are in a tough spot, a week away from playoff contention but struggling to close out games. Their offense has been weak, scoring three or fewer runs in eight of their last 10 games, and they've lost nine of their final 13 contests. This Saturday, September 26, the Phillies will face the Tampa Bay Rays at Citizens Bank Park, but the game will start delayed because of rain. The delay is a result of a major storm affecting the East Coast, which has led to several MLB games being moved around. The Phillies will rely on Aaron Nola, who will start Game 161 after a couple of days rest, despite being in the middle of a bullpen game. Nola has recently posted a 3.12 ERA in his past 15 starts. If the Phillies win, they'll stay ahead of the Arizona Diamondbacks, who have won six straight games and hold a tiebreaker over Philadelphia.",
