T.M. Selection: Atlanta Braves

I like the Atlanta Braves to win this game against the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday. Each game matters in during the season, especially when you are just a couple of games behind the division leaders in late September. The defending champs have looked extremely good all season long, and guess what? They have Ronald Acuna back and healthy for this postseason run. On Saturday, the Braves will hand the ball to Kyle Wright (19-5, 3.18 ERA,) who has been a winning machine all season for them. He hasn't lost a game since July, and he's going to be a force come playoff time. In his last two outings, he's only given up 3 earned runs. He also will have a very strong hitting lineup behind him. For the Phillies, they are still hanging on to that last wildcard spot. Bailey Falter (5-3, 3.68 ERA) will start for them. He's been solid all season long as well. Although he only gave up a run, his last meeting was against the Braves and they lost the game 5-2. Atlanta is just the better team and I expect them to give the Phillies some struggles here this weekend.

T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Braves
