If you build it, he will come. When Kevin Costner starred in Field of Dreams, he likely didn't imagine what a move about ghost baseball players would become. Decades later, MLB is playing their second game in Dyersville, Iowa, otherwise known as the middle of nowhere, where a movie set has been transformed into a regular baseball showcase. This season, the Phillies and Twins take the cornfield in a matchup that has major ramifications on the AL and NL Wild Card races.
The Phillies are fighting for their postseason lives, as the San Diego Padres and Arizona Diamondbacks have surpassed them in the standings. The Miami Marlins are only 1.5 games back. The time is now for Philadelphia's bats, namely Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber, to show what they're capable of. The Twins, meanwhile, are one of the biggest surprises in MLB this season and just a half-game back of the Rangers in the AL Wild Card race. Minnesota's coverage territory reaches Iowa, so baseball fans in the Hawkeye state can watch Twins games on a regular basis.

With Aaron Nola on the bump at a neutral site, the Phillies are favored by 1.5 runs against the Twins and their starting pitcher Taj Bradley. The right-hander Bradley has a 3.76 ERA. While the Phillies have a better overall record than the Twins and play in a far tougher NL East, Minnesota shouldn't be underestimated. They have just as much to play for, as they keep the White Sox within striking distance in the AL Central and take aim at a wide open AL Wild Card race.
