The Braves' magic number for a postseason berth is down to just one. Even if they lose this matchup against the Phillies, all they have to do is win one of their next three games against the New York Mets to get into the playoffs.

What a race this has been between the Phillies and Braves. Unfortunately for Philadelphia, it lost the first two games of this series, putting the team in a tough situation.

On Wednesday, the Braves defeated the Phillies by a final score of 7-2. Atlanta was led by third baseman Austin Riley, who had three RBIs. Philadelphia saw Jean Segura and Ronald Torreyes each drive in a run in the loss.

In tonight's matchup, the Braves will give the starting nod to Ian Anderson (8-5, 3.60 ERA). For the Phillies, Kyle Gibson (4-5, 4.87 ERA) will be the starter.
