The Atlanta Braves are in fantastic shape in mid-September. The team holds a sizable lead on the Washington Nationals for the NL East crown and, as Sept. 17 arrives, Atlanta’s magic number is down to just three. With that as the backdrop, the Philadelphia Phillies are in town for the final series between the rivals this season and Dallas Keuchel takes the ball in the opener at SunTrust Park.
Keuchel has been fantastic in the recent past, blitzing opponents over his last six outings. The veteran left-hander boasts a 0.97 ERA across 37 innings in those starts and that sterling performance brings his season-long ERA down to a more-than-solid 3.
