Here is another perspective being that the season is halfway done::
Phillies remaining games vs NL east teams..includes this series 3 games
Vs braves: 13 games (including a stretch of 7 games with 2 vs Boston sandwiched in between Sept 9-19)
Vs Mets: 9 games
Vs Nationals: 8 games (including a 5 game series Sept 23-26 due to a rain out)
Vs Marlins: 6 games
They still have 4 vs Dodgers, 3 vs Cubs, 2@ Boston, and 3 @ cleveland
Braves remaining schedule vs the NL east
Vs Phillies : 13 games as mentioned
Vs Mets: 9 games
Vs Nationals: 14 games
Vs Marlins: 10 games
We will also have 3 @ Milwaukee, 3 @ Minnesota, and 3 VS dodgers in Atlanta.

Now that we are in the second half and the Phillies are going full speed in reverse, I thought I’d compare us to the Nationals
Braves overall record is 57-37
Vs east: 22-14
Vs central: 17-9
Vs west: 14-12 ( when is the last time we had a winning record vs the west?)
Vs AL: 4-2
Vs RHP: 43-30
Vs LHP: 14-7
The Nationals overall record is 49-43 (7 GB)
Vs east: 27-18
Vs central: 5-11
Vs west: 10-11
Vs AL: 7-3
Vs RHP: 39-31
Vs LHP: 10-12
The Nationals have a favourable schedule towards the end of the season, however, they have a tough schedule in July
July 18-21 4@ Atlanta
July 22-25 4 vs Rockies
July 26-28 3 vs Dodgers
July 29-31 3 vs Atlanta

If every game of every series is must win, doesn't that mean none of them are?
Where does this narrative that the Nationals have a tougher schedule come from? The Nationals have 44 game remaining against teams with a record at or above .500 with only 26 games against teams with a losing record.
We have 34 games against teams at or above .500 and 34 games against teams with a losing record.
Of all the "easy" games remaining, this is how each team's schedule breaks down:
Washington: 4 against Baltimore, 6 against Miami, 4 against the Pirates, 3 against the Reds, and 3 against the Giants. They also get the Mets for 6, but I don't consider them as bad as the first 5 teams.
Braves: 4 against the Royals, 4 against the Reds, 7 against Miami, 4 against Toronto, 3 against the White Sox, and 3 against the Giants. We also get the Mets for 9 games.
Give me our schedule going forward every day of the week.

Braves overall record: 65-45
