Grant Holmes and Jesús Luzardo start for Braves and Phillies today

The Atlanta Braves face the Philadelphia Phillies in a National League East matchup today at 1:05 p.m. EDT. Atlanta enters the contest with a five-game lead in the division following a win in the previous game that created a season tiebreaker between the two clubs. Grant Holmes takes the mound for the Braves, aiming for consistency after a mixed recent performance. Jesús Luzardo starts for the Phillies as the team looks to recover ground in the division race with only four games remaining between the two sides. The Phillies no longer control their own path to an NL East title. The outcome of this series holds implications for playoff seeding, including the possibility of a first-round bye for the division winner.
