The Philadelphia Phillies are your 2024 National League East division champions.

The honor came after a 6-2 win over the Chicago Cubs last night, and the Phillies now look to stay in one of the top two playoff seeds to earn a much-needed BYE.

Getting the starting nod for Philadelphia on Tuesday will be opener Tanner Banks (2-2, 3.78 ERA).

Banks has served as an opener one other time this season, on April 8th while still with the Chicago White Sox.

In that start, Banks allowed one earned run on two hits and no walks while striking out five in 2 1/3 innings and picked up his first loss of the season.

Joining the Phillies via trade, the lefty has pitched much better than he did with the White Sox.

In 19 games with Philadelphia, Banks has pitched to a 3.00 ERA across 21 innings with a 1.24 WHIP and 20 strikeouts.

Banks could be considered the best trade deadline acquisition the Phillies made this season, and he will be with the club after 2024 is over, not reaching free agency until after the 2028 campaign.

Here is how Philadelphia will line up on Tuesday:

1.) DH Kyle Schwarber
2.) SS Trea Turner
3.) 1B Bryce Harper
4.) 3B Alec Bohm
5.) RF Nick Castellanos
6.) LF Austin Hays
7.) 2B Edmundo Sosa
8.) C Garrett Stubbs
9.) CF Johan Rojas

LHP Tanner Banks

The Cubs will counter with a lefty of their own in ace Justin Steele (5-5, 3.03 ERA).

In his last start, Steele allowed no earned runs on two hits and three walks while striking out one in 2 2/3 innings.

Steele has dealt with injuries this season, with two separate stints on the injured list, his most recent coming at the beginning of September with his last start marking his return.

The lefty has still had a good season, despite the injuries, and has pitched very well over his last seven starts.

Steele carries a 2.88 ERA across those starts with a 1.22 WHIP and 41 strikeouts across 34 1/3 innings.

Here is how Chicago will line up on Tuesday:

1.) LF Ian Happ
2.) SS Dansby Swanson
3.) DH Seiya Suzuki
4.) RF Cody Bellinger
5.) 3B Isaac Paredes
6.) 1B Michael Busch
7.) 2B Nico Hoerner
8.) CF Pete Crow-Armstrong
9.) C Miguel Amaya

SP Justin Steele

The first pitch for Tuesday's game is scheduled for 6:40 PM EST.

The game will be broadcast on NBC Sports Philadelphia and the Marquee Sports Network.
