The Phillies head down to Atlanta to decide the fate of the NL East as they take on the Braves in a three game set. Sitting at two and a half games out of the division lead with six games left, Philly needs to do everything it can to stay in the hunt for the division crown during the last week of the season. That all starts as they try to chase down an Atlanta squad that has held down first place in the division for the past six-plus weeks.
It would be easy to say that neither team’s fanbase thought they would be here today.
