Preview

With all due admire to the Miami Marlins, the Phillies had a “taking care of business” vibe within the Wild Card Order. Everybody did their activity to overcome an inferior opponent, and at disagree level within the two-game sweep did it really feel like Miami had the higher hand. The Braves, clearly, can be a lot harder problem, even though they’re with out Charlie Morton (finger) and it’s hazy what they’ll be capable of get from Max Fried (blister), if the rest. The Braves are most likely extra inclined at the moment than they’ve been at any level this season.

Prediction

The Phillies are distinctive in that they’re constructed higher for a decrease postseason line than the habitual season marathon. Even with Zack Wheeler unavailable till Recreation 2, I’m taking the Phillies in tournament that unusually isn’t in particular alike. Select: Phillies 6, Braves 1.
