The Atlanta Braves are going to win the NL East, but the 2nd best team in the division, the Philadelphia Phillies are currently in the lead for the top wildcard spot in the NL. There are six teams fighting for three spots in the NL wildcard race, so there is more work to be done. The Braves have just slowed down and played out the rest of the schedule, and they have been just 6-8 in their last 14 games, so this team is not putting forth the same effort as they have nothing left to do except set up their playoff rotation and make sure starters get plenty of rest down the stretch. Zack Wheeler has fared well vs. Atlanta in his career as his team owns a winning record in 27 starts and a nifty 3.23 ERA. Kyle Wright has a losing record vs. the Phillies and a 4.46 ERA. I like Philadelphia in this one.
