I remember the final games of the 2024 MLB regular season, when the Braves almost eliminated the New York Mets from the playoff race.
That Braves team I watched in 2024 has all but disappeared. The 2025 Atlanta Braves are a shadow of their former selves are 2-9 and deadlast in the division. Tonight, they go up against a Philadelphia Phillies team that’s neck-and-neck with the Mets for first in the National League East.
The Braves finally have Sean Murphy back, and he should assist with production behind home plate. With Ronald Acuna Jr. still a few weeks away from returning, after completing ACL reconstructive surgery, the Braves won’t put up much of a fight against the Phillies who are rolling with the stellar opening-season performances from DH Kyle Schwarber.
The series is tied (1-1) with the final game in the series tonight.

The Phillies are posting left-handed sensation Jesús Luzardo who is 2-0 and has a 1.50 ERA. These Phillies stats and the Atlanta Braves' abysmal performance don't bode well for the Bravos, who are desperately trying to crawl out of last place in the division.
