How to Watch the Atlanta Braves take on the Philadelphia Phillies in Game Four of the NL Divisional Series

The Atlanta Braves have nowhere to hide.

Down two games to one in their best of five to the Philadelphia Phillies, it's "put up or shut up" time. Can a historic regular season offense break out of their slump when it matters most? The Braves are facing the Phillies in an elimination game, and they get a rematch of the game one starter and bullpen that shut them out for only the third time all season. Can Atlanta's bats wake up, or is this it for the 2023 season?

Season on the line.

Pitching Matchup for the Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies in Game Four

Spencer Strider (0-1, 1.29 ERA) vs Ranger Suarez (0-0, 0.00 ERA)

The Braves announced Spencer Strider as the starter yesterday. MLB's strikeout leader for 2023 went seven innings against Philly in Saturday's game one, allowing two runs (one earned) on five hits and two walks, striking out eight. The error was his, a throwing error to 1st that advanced a runner who ended up scoring, and the other run came from a solo homer off the bat of Bryce Harper. After winning all eight of his career regular season appearances against Philly with a 1.90 ERA, Strider's now 0-2 in the postseason against them with a 5.79 ERA.

Opposing Atlanta, at least initially, will be Ranger Suarez. The lefty lasted only 3.2 innings in game one, but allowed only one walk and one hit, striking out four. Philly then cycled through six relievers, with none of them pitching more than one inning, to get the upset win in game one. Suarez is one of the few lefties to do well against the Braves, with a career 2-2 record and 3.00 ERA in 16 appearances (seven starts).
