Less than one week left in the season, and the Phillies trail the Braves by 2.5 games in the National League East. How fortuitous for them that they’ve got three games against the Braves this week. If the Phillies win all three - much like they did to start the season - they’ll find themselves in first place.
Record: 83-72 (First place in National League East)
The last time they met
These teams faced off a whole lot in the first month of the season, but not too much since then. The only post-All-Star meeting came in mid-July when they split a four-game series in Philadelphia.
