Phillies NLDS schedule times for first two games vs Braves
The Philadelphia have a date in a National League Division Series with a very familiar opponent.
After their two-game NL Wild Card sweep of the Miami Marlins, the Phillies earned a matchup against the NL East champions, the Atlanta Braves, for the second straight year. The Mariners will get a couple of days to prepare before the best-of-five series starts Saturday at Atlanta’s Truist Park.
The start times for all five of the potential NLDS games are not yet set, but for now, you can at least plan your days around the first two games.
