September 20 - The Atlanta Braves, who are trailing in the wild-card playoff race, are looking to sweep the host Miami Marlins this weekend.
Miami (56-97) has the worst record in the National League. Atlanta (83-70) has been pretty solid against the Marlins this season with a 7-3 record.
The scheduled starters for Friday's series opener are a study in contrasts. Atlanta will give the ball to veteran right-hander Charlie Morton, and Miami will go with rookie Valente Bellozo.
Morton (8-8), who turns 41 in November, is consistent. He has a 4.01 ERA this season - close to his 4.
