Phillies Series Preview: vs Atlanta Braves

The Phillies welcome in the division rival Atlanta Braves for a three game series at Citizens Bank Park. Thanks to the opener being held on Independence Day and a series finale, two of the games will be day games.

The Fourth of July opener will begin at 4:05pm, which may be fortunate, as heavy rains are possible for tonight. Tuesdays second game has a normal 7:05pm weekday night game start time, while the Wednesday finale will begin at 1:05pm.

The Braves are one of just eight MLB teams with a worse record than the Fightin’ Phils as the series opens.
