The Atlanta Braves can win a fourth straight playoff trip with a victory Thursday night when they complete a three-game streak against the Philadelphia Phillies. Atlanta has won five straight games and slashed its magic number to win NL East to one with a 7-2 win on Wednesday night. Ian Anderson will start Thursday while the Phillies start with Kyle Gibson.
No surprises for the Braves with their roster since they will go with the same group as in the previous two games of the series. Jorge Soler will start and is 3-for-6 in the series with three walks, two runs scored and two runs batted in. Dansby Swanson went 4-for-7 at home with a double and two RBIs. Swanson will reach the eighth Thursday.
For the Phillies, Brad Miller is back on first base and finished fifth. Ronald Torreyes starts for the second straight day on third base and will hit eighth.
