Braves vs Phillies MLB Live Stream Reddit for July 4 Showdown

The Philadelphia Phillies (45-41) will be in Atlanta Thursday for the rubber match of a three-game set with their division rival Braves (51-36). The Braves hold a 5.5-game lead in the NL East, but Philly has bounced back nicely from their 7-game losing streak in the middle of June.

First pitch is scheduled for 7:20 p.m. ET from SunTrust Park and will be televised on FSSO, NBCSP and ESPN. The game can also be viewed on the MLB Streams subreddit.

The Braves dominated the Phillies Wednesday in a 9-2 victory.

Braves Lineup

The Braves' lineup is formidable from top to bottom, with All-Star starting first baseman Freddie Freeman anchoring the group in the third spot. The 29-year-old is batting .308 with 22 home runs, and he's already compiled 65 RBI thanks to the talents of Ronald Acuña and Dansby Swanson ahead of him.

Atlanta's young ace Mike Soroka (9-1, 2.13 ERA) will be on the mound Thursday, fresh off a quality start vs. the Mets last Friday. The 21-year-old rookie has been fantastic this season, and he should be one of the early starters used in next week's MLB All-Star Game.

Phillies Lineup

Second-year centerfielder Scott Kingery has been a fantastic surprise for Philly at the top of the order this season. He's batting .310 on the year and getting on base at a .359 clip to kick-start the Philadelphia offense.

Twenty-five-year-old righty Zach Eflin (7-7, 3.34 ERA) will start for the Phillies, looking to bounce back from a rough couple outings that have seen him allow nine earned runs in his last 11 innings pitched. The stacked Braves lineup won't make bouncing back an easy task.

Tonight should be a great divisional matchup, and perhaps the most intriguing part will be the performance of Soroka in his final start before the All-Star Game.
