Do they have "best" starters? lol
Yeah, big series. We have to take at least 2 of 3.

I did say that, yes.
Yeah, if the fillies take 2 out of 3 we're in trouble.
The only devastating outcome for either team would be us sweeping them.
what if we swept them and then the marlins swept us
I just think the pressure the Phillies would be under if we sweep would be immense; the type of pressure that breaks teams.

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.
The 14 games against the Nationals are going to a pain in the @$$. Hopefully we can at least split 7-7. The Marlins (which we're 8-1 against so far) aren't a joke right now either.
I say the Phillies' schedule is a bit more favorable.
Agreed but if we split the rest of the season series vs the Phillies and nationals, it makes the math a lot easier to win the division
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
Where does this narrative that the Nationals have a tougher schedule come from.
