For the fourth time this season, the Phillies will take on the Braves in a three-game series. With the Phillies only 1.5 games back of the National League East leading Braves, this is arguably the most important series that the Phillies have played in at least six years.
Will the Phillies step up and give us hope that they will actually be true contenders in the East? Or will we be left shaking our heads trying to figure out why they can’t seem to beat the Braves?
The season series so far
As mentioned, this is the fourth time these teams will be facing each other in 2018, which seems absurd since it’s only mid-May.
