On Thursday, the Philadelphia Phillies begin their massive four-game series against the Atlanta Braves that could virtually lock up the division in their favor, or make the final stretch of the regular season sweaty when it comes to winning the NL East for the first time since 2011.
Entering Game 1, the Phillies hold a five game advantage over their archrivals.
A sweep would be immaculate, a split would be safe, but a reverse sweep would be devastating.
With that in mind, Philadelphia made some changes to their pitching staff that has been the source of major scrutiny in recent weeks during this prolonged stretch post-All Star break that's been filled with struggles.
