The MLB is going to offer very interesting matches for next Thursday, August 29th, and one of them corresponds to the clash between Philadelphia Phillies and Atlanta Braves, teams that will face at 04:40 pm Central Time. In this regard, it’s important to remark that these series are crucial for both teams’ aspirations in the NL East division.
On the one hand, Philadelphia Phillies are the NL East divisional leaders with a 78W-55L record but being only 5.5 games above Atlanta Braves, number that is really concerning as the difference is still not enough to ensure their playoffs’ qualification. For this first game, the Phillies are most likely opening with Cristopher Sanchez, Dominican pitcher that recently lost the third game of the away series against Atlanta Braves (3-2).
On the other hand, Atlanta Braves has only lost 2 out of their last 10 disputed games. That shape really puts a lot of pressure on Charlie Morton, as he most likely will be the opener pitcher for this game. In this regard, it must be remembered that Morton allowed 8 hits and 2 runs during his most recent game against Washington Nationals, so he must try to be more effective during the early stages of this match.
