Can The Braves SWEEP the Phillies AGAIN? (w/ Apple TV's Ryan Spilborghs) | Atlanta Braves Podcast

Host Lindsay Crosby previews the Braves’ weekend series vs the slumping Phillies and is joined by Apple TV broadcaster Ryan Spilborghs to discuss why Atlanta belongs among baseball’s elite, the impact of new manager Walt Weiss’ aggressive edge, and why Philadelphia’s biggest issue is its stagnant offense beyond Harper, Schwarber, and Turner. They cover Phillies pitching uncertainty, including Andrew Painter starting Friday and the need for the lineup to improve with runners in scoring position, plus struggles from Alec Bohm and Bryson Stott and limited internal reinforcements. Crosby then breaks down the rest of the series: Zach Wheeler’s season debut Saturday after thoracic outlet surgery with inconsistent rehab velocity and a likely pitch limit vs Bryce Elder, and Sunday’s Aaron Nola vs Chris Sale matchup, noting Nola’s declining velocity and recent struggles, before predicting a likely 2–1 Braves series win.
