Starting Lineups, Pitchers for Phillies' NLDS Game 1 Against Braves
Hot off their Wild Card Series victory, the Philadelphia Phillies will play Game 1 of the National League Division Series against the Atlanta Braves Saturday evening at 6:07 p.m. ET, at Truist Park in Atlanta, Georgia.
The division rivals played each other 13 times in the 2023 regular season, with the Braves getting the better of the Phillies, taking eight games.
For the sixth straight season, Atlanta won the National League East division, winning 104 games and finishing 14 games better than Philadelphia.
The Phillies and the Braves squared off in the NLDS last season. Philadelphia stunned Atlanta, finishing off the Bravos in four games. The Phillies would go on to reach the World Series for the first time since 2009.
Earlier this week, the Phillies picked up right where they left off from last October, sweeping the Miami Marlins in the NL Wild Card Series. The club has had the last two days off, and is now in Atlanta ready for battle with a familiar foe.
Phillies manager Rob Thomson will give the ball to Ranger Suarez (4-6, 4.18 ERA) in hopes of taking an early series lead Saturday. Spencer Strider (20-5, 3.86 ERA) will start opposite Suarez, as the Braves look for revenge.
