2023 MLB playoffs: Can the Phillies knock the Braves out again?

Three of our four championship series teams are set — and tonight the Philadelphia Phillies are hoping to become the fourth.

Wednesday night, the Houston Astros and Arizona Diamondbacks punched their tickets to the next round, one day after the Texas Rangers became the first team in. The Diamondbacks defeated the 100-win Los Angeles Dodgers, the Rangers swept the 99-win Tampa Bay Rays and the 101-win Baltimore Orioles — and now the 104-win Atlanta Braves are fighting for their season.

Will the Phillies hold on? Can the Braves take this series back to Atlanta for Game 5? We’ll find out tonight.
