Cracking The PHILLIPS-BRAVES NLDS DATES, PITCHERS AND NOTES Code- The Phillies left for Atlanta after sending the Cardinals to victory in two intense road games in the space of 36 hours.
The Phils ended the regular season on an 11-game road trip, so they haven’t been home since September 25, more than two weeks ago. But by winning their wild-card series in St. Louis, the Phillies are guaranteed to play at least one playoff game at home at Citizens Bank Park.

“I think we have the opening pitching, down the stretch he threw the ball really well,” Bryce Harper said on the field after the Phillies advanced. “We’ve got Ranger in Game 1 and we’re excited. We’ve got a great group of guys. We’re excited to move forward with this and get to the next round.”
The Braves would be positioned to start left-hander Max Fried (14-7, 2.48) and right-hander Kyle Wright (21-5, 3.19) in the first two games. Charlie Morton (9-6, 4.34) is likely to pitch Game 3.
The status of rookie Spencer Strider, who dominated the Phillies (and just about everyone else) this season with a 2.67 ERA and 202 strikes in 131⅔ innings, is up in the air. He hasn’t pitched since 18 September because of a skew problem. If it starts with NLDS, it will be a brief start. The brave could also choose to use him as a reliever.
The Phils went 8-11 this season against the World Series champions, the Braves. The last three seasons, each year Atlanta won the division, the teams were 24–24 against each other.
