The Atlanta Braves were blanked for the first 14 innings of this series but gathered five runs in the final three frames of Game 2 to clinch a victory and square things up travelling to Philadelphia. Atlanta has its work cut out for it in a hostile environment. They lost both matches to the Phillies in this venue last year in the NLDS.

The Philadelphia Phillies may mourn letting Game 2 slip through their fingers Monday night when they blew a four-run lead and missed an opportunity at a 2-0 series lead. Philadelphia will want to make up for this loss by winning today at home, which is a trend in recent years.
Aaron Nola will take the mound for the Phillies as he makes his second start of the postseason in this game after 32 regular season starts. He was 12-9 with a 4.46 ERA, a 1.151 WHIP, 45 walks and 202 strikeouts over 193.2 innings of work in the regular season. In the postseason, he is 1-0 with a 0.00 ERA, a 0.571 WHIP, one walk and three strikeouts in his one start.
MatchPlug Prediction For Atlanta Braves VS Philadelphia Phillies
With Elder fading (5.75 ERA over his last 14 starts) and Smith-Shawver struggling at the major league level (4.26, seven HR allowed in 25.1 innings), fans have to give the advantage to Philadelphia here. Nola will do his part and pitch the Phillies to a 2-1 series lead against Atlanta.
