How to Live Stream the Game

First pitch is scheduled for 7:20 pm E.T. at SunTrust Park. The game will be televised on NBC 10 and on FSSO. The game will be available on FB-Watch for those out of market. The game can also be viewed on the MLB Streams subreddit.

Phillies Lineup

The Phillies are coming off a series loss to Arizona and if they want to keep up with the Braves in the East, its important for their lineup to have a good weekend. Bryce Harper finally appears to be hitting better for the Philadelphia squad batting .328 over his last 15 games. He has driven in 12 runs in that span.

Pitching for the Phillies will be right hander Nick Pivetta. The right hander is pitching much better of late and holds a 4-1 record on the year. He's allowed just four runs over his last twenty innings and is coming off his first ever complete game against the Reds on Saturday.

Braves Lineup

The surging Atlanta Braves have scored 69 runs over their last 10 games against the Tigers, Marlins, and Pirates. Ronald Acuna Jr., Dansby Swanson and Freedie Freeman have all provided a spark at the top of the order followed by Austin Riley and Ozzie Albies.

Left hander Max Fried will be on the bump for the Braves tonight. The southpaw is 7-3 with a 3.75 ERA. He hasn't been great in his past couple of starts giving up a season-high nine hits in his past three outings.
