Atlanta has all the momentum as it powers its way towards clinching the NL East title after its come-from-behind dramatic 6-5 victory on Friday night. It was the third win in a row for the Braves while Philadelphia now has lost 20 of its last 28 road contests. The Phillies have lost nine of their last 13 overall and their last five road games against right-handed starters. Jake Arrieta has been struggling lately and the Phillies have lost six of his last eight starts. His September ERA is 5.71 in three outings and Arrieta was 0-4 with a 4.50 ERA in August. Mike Foltynewicz has a 2.90 ERA on the season and the Phillies have not had much success against him this year as they have scored only five earned runs in 23 innings versus the right-hander. Atlanta has dominated its divisional rivals winning 36 of its last 52 versus NL East teams. Look for that trend to continue and take the Braves.
