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.

However, the Phillies have shown they can fight back, and if their offense clicks, they may pull off another close win.
