The fact that the Philadelphia Phillies are are still alive in the wild card race and the Atlanta Braves still have a shot at securing home field in the National League for the post-season means that there will still be plenty of playoff-level intensity in this series. That should help lend itself to tight, low-scoring pitchers duels throughout this NL East battle between the Philadelphia Phillies and Atlanta Braves.
