The Atlanta Braves (94-50, 76-68 RL, 79-63-2 O/U) collide with the Philadelphia Phillies (79-65, 63-81 RL, 64-69-11 O/U) in the last of a four-game divisional series on Wednesday evening. The Braves will give the nod to Spencer Strider. The Phillies will answer with Cris Sanchez. The Braves lead the season series 5-3.
Spencer Strider will get the nod in this one. Strider was clobbered in his previous start, allowing six runs in just 2.2 innings against the Cardinals, and was hit with the loss. The young ace has struggled in two consecutive outings and is sporting a 3.83 ERA and a 1.09 WHIP complemented by a 16-5 record in 162 innings on the season. Strider has held the Phillies to three runs in 12 innings this season and has issued a dazzling 1.62 ERA and a 6-0 record in 33.1 career innings against the Phillies. Strider has 250 strikeouts.
Atlanta has the division already won but these games have meaning as they strive to secure the best record in the NL and the MLB to ensure home-field if they make it to the NCLS and World Series. The Braves rebounded from a series loss to the Cardinals by winning two of three against the Pirates before this series. They are 5-5 in their last ten decisions.
