National League East rivals clash on Friday night when the Braves host the Phillies.
The Phillies have emerged as one of the premier teams in all of baseball, currently touting the best record in the National League. They are led by tremendous starting pitching, including Friday night's starter, Aaron Nola. Nola has a 3.43 ERA through 17 starts.
Amid injuries to Kyle Schwarber (groin) and Bryce Harper (hamstring), Philadelphia will continue to rely on resurgent third baseman Alec Bohm to carry its offense. The fifth-year pro is in the midst of his best season, hitting .296 with 70 RBIs and earning a starting spot in the All-Star Game.
In recent weeks, Atlanta has begun to resemble the team that has won six consecutive NL East crowns. Third baseman Austin Riley is heating up after a slow start, and outfielder Jarred Kelenic has been a revelation amid Ronald Acuna Jr.'s absence.
But the Braves are still looking up to the Phillies in the NL East standings. The two teams previously met to begin the 2024 season, with Atlanta taking two of three in Philadelphia.
