In the most pivotal series of the season, the Atlanta Braves got off to a good start by taking down the ace of the Philadelphia Phillies in game 1.
This is potentially a three-game Wild Card series for the Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies. Of course, the Braves have the edge coming in with a 2.5 game lead that is now 3.5 after their 2-1 win on Tuesday night.
But you could make the argument coming in that whoever wins this series likely goes on to win the NL East.
That’s a little bit tougher for the Phillies now after they drop game one and fall 3.
