The Phillies are 23-15 against the Braves at home over the past four seasons, including three shutouts in the last six meetings of 2018. However, Atlanta's pitchers held Philadelphia to a .203 batting average across all 19 games last season, the fifth lowest by a team against a divisional opponent in 2018.

The Braves won 90 games and finished first in the NL East in 2018, achieving a 90-win season and a division title each for the first time since 2013. Atlanta exited the playoffs at the hands of the Dodgers in the NLDS, 3-1, which was the same exact result for the Braves in 2013.

The Phillies finished 2018 with an 80-82 record and missed the playoffs for the seventh consecutive season. Philadelphia was 49-32 (.605) at home and 31-50 (.383) on the road, the second-largest difference in win percentage (+.222) among teams that were better at home (Minnesota, +.247).

Julio Teheran went 1-2 after August 1 last season despite posting a 2.97 ERA and a .167 opponent batting average. That opponent average was the second lowest among NL pitchers who pitched at least 30 innings from August 1 to the end of the regular season (Walker Buehler, .154).

Aaron Nola went 17-6 with 224 strikeouts in 212.1 innings in 2018. It was Nola's second consecutive season with a strikeout-per-nine figure above 9.0 while pitching at least one inning per team game. The only other pitcher in team history to do so in back-to-back seasons was Curt Schilling in 1997 and 1998.

Bryce Harper signed with the Phillies as a free agent in the offseason. In his seven seasons in Washington, Harper amassed 521 RBI and 610 runs scored. Still 26 years old, he is the first left-handed hitter to reach 500 RBI and 600 runs scored before turning 27 since Ken Griffey Jr (725 RBI, 695 runs).

HP - Timmons, 1B - Drake, 2B - Muchlinski, 3B - Winters

Philadelphia has chosen another bright young member of its pitching staff to start the second game of the season, while Atlanta has dipped into the wealth of its farm system.
Philadelphia will send right-hander Nick Pivetta (7-14, 4.77 ERA in 2018) to oppose Atlanta rookie right-hander Bryse Wilson (1-0, 6.43 in 2018) on Saturday in the second game of the three-game series in Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA (AP)  Hitless in five at-bats to open his anticipated first series with the Philadelphia Phillies, Bryce Harper grabbed teammate Nick Williams' bat looking for a spark.
One big swing of the borrowed lumber later, Harper was on the top step of the dugout, roaring back at the fans chanting ''MVP! MVP!'' for their $330 million man.
