Another battle against the Atlanta Braves begins for the Phillies Monday night
Thanks to an absurd schedule maker the Phillies and Braves will face each other for the second time in four weeks ahead of another series next weekend. Regardless, Philadelphia has a great opportunity to add to their six-game winning streak, the best in the National League.
