Who are the Phillies playing?
Awaiting the Phillies are their rivals, the Atlanta Braves.
The team was the winningest in MLB this season, taking 104 contests and earning the National League East crown by 14 games over Philadelphia.
The Braves are led by MVP candidate Ronald Acuna Jr., who is the first Major League player to ever hit 40 home runs and steal 70 bases in a season.
In total, the Braves have 7 players who have hit over 20 home runs this season, and they led the Major Leagues in that category.
First baseman Matt Olson led MLB with 54 home runs in 2023.
Last year's N.L. Rookie of the Year, Michael Harris II, rebounded from a slow start to finish with a .293 average, and 18 home runs.
The lineup is arguably the deepest in baseball, with pop from every hitter.
On the mound, Atlanta is led by Spencer Strider, who won the most games in MLB this year, with 20.
However, the question marks begin to pile up after Strider, as lefty Max Fried has dealt with injury all season, and rookie Bryce Elder has struggled over his final starts of the season.
In the bullpen, the Braves boast experienced arms and can come at the Phillies from both the left and right-handed sides.
While pitching may be the team's weakness, it is certainly one of the better pitching staffs in all of baseball.
Due to the Braves' winning ways, the team earned a first round bye in the postseason and have been awaiting Philadelphia.
To stay sharp, the team has been playing simulated games in Atlanta.
Who is pitching for the Phillies?
The team has not announced its starters for the series yet.
However, lefty Ranger Suarez appears to be the likeliest option to start Game One of the series, as he did last year.
Based off days of rest and how the series lines up, it's possible that ace Zack Wheeler could start Game Two in Atlanta, followed by Aaron Nola in Game Three in Philadelphia.
Of course, these decisions aren't final until announced by the team.
