Sunday Night Baseball: Braves vs. Phillies

When this series was scheduled and this game was picked for ESPN Sunday Night Baseball, the prevailing thought was probably that Braves vs. Phillies would mean a ton this late in the season. Well, it still means something to the Phillies, who are back out to a six-game lead in the NL East after giving up three games to the Mets earlier this week. The Braves, however, are 14 games under .500 and will have their first losing season since 2017.

That was also the last time that the Braves missed the playoffs, so it’s fair to wonder how engaged they will be the rest of the way. Tonight’s starter, Hurston Waldrep, still has plenty to prove, though, and he’ll look to set the tone tonight, as the Phillies counter with Jesus Luzardo.
