Why You Can Trust CNET Phillies vs. Braves Livestream: How to Watch Game 4 of the Division Series Today
With the Philadelphia up 2-1, Atlanta faces playoff elimination in the NLDS this afternoon.
The Braves went on a torrid run to end the regular season and win the NL East, but their backs are against the wall in Philadelphia. Friday the Phillies pounded Atlanta 9-1 with homers by Bryce Harper and Rhys Hoskins and a dominant performance by ace Aaron Nola and the bullpen. Today the Braves' hopes rest on the bats of their young hitters and the veteran arm of Charlie Morton, who gets the start against the Phillies' Noah Syndergaard. A Braves loss sends them home while a win forces a deciding game 5 on Sunday in Atlanta. Game 4 starts today at 2:07 p.m. ET (11:07 p.m. PT) on FS1.
