The Atlanta Braves can lock down a fourth straight trip to the postseason with a win Thursday night when they wrap up a three-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies. Atlanta has won five straight games and reduced its magic number to clinch the NL East to one with a 7-2 win Wednesday night. Ian Anderson will get the start Thursday while the Phillies will go with Kyle Gibson.
No surprises for the Braves with their lineup as they will go with the same group as in the previous two games of the series. Jorge Soler will lead off and is 3-for-6 in the series with three walks, two runs scored and two RBI. Dansby Swanson has gone 4-for-7 at the plate with a double and two RBI. Swanson will hit eighth Thursday.
A win tonight wins the East.
