How to live stream?

Fans can catch the game on MLB.TV as well as the My Stream App. MLB.TV is still the most preferred app as it comes with a slashed price of $59.99 keeping in mind the shortened season.

Other options that viewers can look for is YouTube TV that gives access to ESPN, ESPN2, Fox, FS1, MLB Network, and TBS at $64.99. Hulu and fuboTV are some similar options available.

Pre-match buzz

The Phillies have had a rather slow start to the season, but have won their last four games out of seven. They will be counting on JT Realmuto to make some damage when they face off against the Braves. As a matter of fact, Realmuto does have a great record against the Braves as he smacked two homers along with four RBIs in four meetings. Nola will be their destructive pitcher as he stacked up 30 strikeouts in 21 innings. 

The Braves, in the meantime, will be counting on the pitcher, Max Fried to retain his consistency and deliver. Marcell Ozuna will be their go-to man and despite the unpredictability of his game, he's still hitting .261 with 13 RBIs at the moment.

Who will win?

It's a battle of pitchers and that makes it a tough call. Considering it's a home game for the Braves and that they're on top of the table, much of this prediction stems from the fact they will be high on confidence. So we'll back Atlanta to take this series.
