The Braves and Phillies seasons could both come down to the last 3 games the last weekend of the regular season. The way things have been going this year, it could come down to the last game of the last series of the last weekend of the regular season.
As a Braves fan, I sincerely hope this is NOT the case. But one has to be realistic. The Phillies and Braves have been separated in the NL East by just a few games for most of the season. The gap is now 3 games. Three. There’s that number again. Three could become one team’s favorite number and the other’s all time hated number. That last weekend of 3 games could decide who gets all the marbles and who just goes home.
The Phillies and Braves have about an equal number of home and away games until the last series. They have about an equal number of games they have to play against winning teams. Both teams are heavy with series in the NL East division both playing the Marlins, Nationals and each other before reaching the last weekend series.
The Phillies hitters have started to come out of their slumps a bit. The Braves hitting is heating up. The pitching on both sides is starting to really come around. The Braves are on a 5 game win streak with the Braves taking on the Marlins yet again and the Phillies making up a game against the Rockies on Thursday night. 28 games remain in the regular season but 3 may be the only number that matters the first week of October.
