Buster Olney joins the show to break down the Atlanta Braves, Philadelphia Phillies and the National League playoff race as September heats up.
The Braves may have split their series in Philadelphia, but Atlanta still holds a four-game lead over the Phillies with the tiebreaker in hand. Buster explains why Philadelphia’s starting rotation — led by Zack Wheeler, Cristopher Sánchez and Jesús Luzardo — could make the Phillies one of the most dangerous teams in the National League come October.
Ronald Acuña Jr. also takes center stage after his massive weekend in Philadelphia. Acuña responded to the Phillies’ pitching attack with a 414-foot home run and reminded everyone just how much he can change a game when he’s locked in. Is Braves-Phillies becoming one of MLB’s best rivalries?
The conversation also dives into the Braves’ September schedule, Grant Holmes’ dominant start, Tyler Mahle’s continued success, the depth of Atlanta’s rotation and what the Braves need to do to chase the Dodgers and Brewers for the top spots in the National League.
Plus, Buster breaks down Philadelphia’s bullpen concerns, Kyle Schwarber’s impact, the Rays’ upcoming series with Atlanta, Aaron Judge’s return with the Yankees and the biggest storylines heading into the final weeks of the MLB regular season.
