Why the Braves. The late innings tilt toward the Braves, whose available relievers carry a 2.97 ERA against 3.56 for the Phillies.

The case for the Phillies. The Phillies' lineup sets up well for this matchup, with its contact and plate discipline playing up tonight. The Phillies come in playing the better recent baseball, on both sides of the ball.

Notes. Philadelphia Phillies note — Brandon Marsh: Marsh is absent from the lineup Thursday in Game 3 of the wild-card series versus Atlanta. Atlanta Braves note — Ha-Seong Kim: Kim is not in the lineup for Thursday's Game 3 of the wild-card series against the Phillies. Bryce Harper is running cold over his last 10 games, batting .220 — .290 wOBA vs. a .397 season mark. Matt Olson is running cold over his last 10 games, batting .194 — .211 wOBA vs. a .391 season mark. Michael Harris II is running hot over his last 10 games, batting .400 — .462 wOBA vs. a .387 season mark. Atlanta Braves are going with a bullpen game: Grant Holmes is lined up for the bulk innings behind opener Ray Kerr, so the relief matchup matters more than usual here.
