Phillies defeat the ‘Mazing Mets tonight, 4-0.

Magic Number remains at 6. Lead is at 5 1/2 games.

 

[GTJake]

I really think tonight's game is a big one not to give the Phillies any confidence they can somehow pull this out.
Plus with Arrieta and Nola pitching Sat & Sun, now is the time to shut the door !

If the Braves blow the lead and don't go to the Playoffs they should fire Brian Snitker and hire Joe Girardi.

Braves lead 4-3. Two on, one out, bottom 7th. Freddie up, now.

 

[Buzzbomb]

Bases juiced in last of the eighth, with no outs. Give us a cushion big bats. Bullpen is still in, no lead is safe.

Edit: Got one in. 5-3 lead.

6-3, now. 1 out.

Huge win.

 

[Buzzbomb]

Mets defeat Nats in 12, 5-4.
Braves magic number with Washington is 2(1 = a tie).

Any combination of 4 Braves wins or Phillies losses, gives us the Division. We have 9 games left. 6 Phils, 3 Mets. Could be over by late Saturday(tomorrow)afternoon.

Cannot finish worse than 85-77. Win 5 of the 9, end up 90-72.
Presently-Home:40-38. Road:45-30.
