Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies head-to-head record
According to the Braves and Phillies' last five meetings, this game might go either way, but the Braves look like they have a small edge. The Braves have claimed three of the last five games between the two teams. On July 7, 2024, they beat the Phillies by a score of 6-0 and 5-1 again on the same day. But the Phillies have shown they can remain competitive by beating the Braves 8–6 on July 6 and in a close game 5–4 on March 31. Based on recent events, the Braves might win if they can repeat their good pitching and timely hitting. However, the Phillies have shown they can fight back, and if their offense clicks, they may pull off another close win.
