Atlanta clinched their playoff berth by finishing top of the NL East with a 94-68 record, but came into the postseason in underwhelming form with five defeats in their final seven regular season games.

| Tyler Mahle | Atlanta Braves | 7-10 | 3.99 | 137 | 148.3 |
Verdict
Cristopher Sanchez boasts the best win record in the National League, but he is 0-2 against Atlanta this season and his numbers dip when he heads out on the road.
Tyler Mahle, on the other hand, is in fine form and already owns two wins against the Phillies this month, so we are backing the hosts to wrap up this series.
