The Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies are set to do baseball battle in the middle game of this three-game series in Cobb County and fortunately, the Braves are currently in a position where they’ve got a shot at picking up their first series win of the season.

They’ve scored 10 runs and 7 runs in two of their past three games so it’s clear that Brian Snitker is doing his best to try to get his guys in a groove. This lineup reflects that, as you’ll see below:
The top five of the lineup remains unchanged but the big switch is towards the lower middle of the order, as Sean Murphy and Bryan de la Cruz have switched spots in the order. The move up in the lineup is completely understandable for Murphy as he made a fantastic 2025 debut as he helped boost the Braves to a big win over Zack Wheeler and the Phillies last night. Hopefully this is the start of Murphy hitting the ground running and also the Braves as a whole starting to get more consistent at the plate.
Here’s the lineup for the Phillies:
There’s no Edmundo Sosa in tonight’s lineup, so we don’t have to worry about him being a magical savant out there in the outfield. Additionally, Johan Rojas is out of the lineup and while this may be because of the pitching matchup, it could also be a bit of a thing where it’s like “Hey! Hey. You can’t just be letting fly balls drop like that, you know?” Anyways, Max Kepler is in left, Brandon Marsh is in center and the rest of the Phillies are, the rest of the Phillies.
