Phillies-Braves NL Wild Card Series Game 2 FAQ (2 ET, NBC/Peacock)

The Atlanta Braves host the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday afternoon at Truist Park for Game 2 of the NL Wild Card Series. Following Atlanta's 5-3 victory in Game 1, the Braves are one win away from advancing to the NLDS, while the Phillies face elimination. The matchup features starting pitchers Cristopher Sánchez for Philadelphia and Tyler Mahle for Atlanta, with first pitch set for 2 p.m. ET.

Sánchez enters the do-or-die start after posting a 2.91 ERA and 231 strikeouts during the regular season, while Mahle posted a 1.99 ERA over nine starts with Atlanta. Philadelphia will look to overcome historical odds, as home teams that won Game 1 have previously gone on to win all nine best-of-three Wild Card series.
