The Atlanta Braves will begin the final leg of their homestand Thursday when they begin a four-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies. This will be the first meeting between the two teams since the NLDS last season where the Phillies prevailed in four games.
The Braves avoided a sweep Wednesday with a walk-off 4-3 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Atlanta enters the series with a 30-19 record and currently holds a 5.5 game lead over the Miami Marlins and New York Mets in the NL East standings.
