The Phillies had a great month of August going 22-8, which was the best record in baseball. The National League East first place Atlanta Braves come to town for a four-game series.\u00a0 This is a preview of playoff baseball, and you know Citizens Bank Park will be rocking! <\/p>\n
The Phillies have their four best starting pitchers scheduled to go this weekend; Friday night the Phillies send Cristopher Sanchez to the hill and the Braves counter with their Ace, Chris Sale. What a match up!! There is a lot at stake in this series!!\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Eagles initial 53-man roster was set in place this week, and while there are still a lot of questions, the biggest question for me is the offense. Will Jalen Hurts have a bounce back year without A.J. Brown? If the Birds’ offensive line can stay healthy, the Eagles offense will be better. They led the NFL in three-and-outs last year. <\/p>\n
