Just two days after a disappointing offensive effort against Ranger Suarez and seven Philadelphia Phillies relievers in their 3-0 Game One loss, the Atlanta Braves are hoping to get right in what's as close to a "must-win" game as you can get outside of an elimination game. 

But they've got to do it against one of the better pitchers in the National League in Zack Wheeler. It'll be a tall task, but this was the best offense in not only the regular season, but in recent baseball history. 

Lineup for the Atlanta Braves in Game Two of the NLDS versus the Philadelphia Phillies

Here's how the Braves will line up for the contest: 

After much fan consternation over Saturday's lineup change, Atlanta's going back to their regular RHP-hitting lineup for game two. Travis d'Arnaud, who has hit Wheeler well in his career, rotates in for Sean Murphy, batting 6th.
