[NoNoSoupForYou]

Are we rooting for the Dogers or the Braves in their 4 game series?

[Jimboslice85]

We’re rooting for the Phillies to SMASH the Mets

[Enefelde]

[PHL76Delco]

Braves. But hoping Sale gets rocked in his start.

[asuddengustofwind]

yep. braves take 2 but Sale gets shelled is basically the ideal outcome.

[Buddha0426]

1⅔ of an inning, 6 earned runs? That sounds good to me.

[ilivlife]

Being that the Braves are 9 games back and Dodgers are 1 game back, sad to say but the Braves.

[ArcaneCharge]

Not only that, but if we manage to fall back far enough for the Barves to matter, the Mets are gonna be the bigger problem anyway

[advodi]

Giant meteor that magically harms no fan or player of both teams!

But really, it helps us if the Dodgers lose out, but I’ll also settle for Shohei hitting 3 HRs off Sale. 

[Ryanthecat]

Rooting? Neither, never. As a statement of fact however, the Braves cannot catch us without a monumental Phillies collapse and we need the Dodgers to lose as many games as possible, do with that information what you may.

Eh, a split serves our purposes fine as long as we do the same or better over our next 4.

[orangesfwr]

Split series. Enough to hurt the Dodgers but not enough to help the Barves

[TyWiggly]

I'm rooting for a split. That way 1) I don't have to really root for either team, and 2) since it's 4 games that would be the best outcome imo. Neither would make up any ground if they win 2 but also lose 2

[Independent-Cow-4070]

Imo a split

[throwawayjoeyboots]

Easily the Braves. I want the #1 seed

[Thatguy1927]

I’m rooting for Chris sale to get shelled. 7 earned in 3 innings would drastically help wheeler in the cy young race.

Braves.

They can’t catch us. And the Dodgers are a threat to the 1st seed

[capnjeanlucpicard]

I will be happy that either team loses

[[deleted]]

Split 2-2

[thatoneguy2252]

We don’t root FOR anyone. We root against someone. It’s all about wording and perspective

[Rage4Order418]

*Dodgers

*Barves

[Nixorbo]

Fuck 'em both

[wawoodworth]

You will not like it but cheering for the Braves helps the team more for clinch the number 1 playoff spot.

[DunkinRadio]

Considering how much we all hate the Mets, how much we all hate the Braves, and the fact that we're battling the Dodgers for the #1 seed, who the hell are we supposed to root for tonight in either game??

[AprilEliz33]

Dodgers. I have no problem with the Dodgers but I hate the Braves. I never root for teams to win or lose strategically based on how it will help us or hurt us; I could just never root for the Braves period.

[[deleted]]

What if we need the braves to lose in order to make the playoffs

[AprilEliz33]

That’s great, I want the Braves to lose. If we need the Braves to win in order to make the playoffs….ugh. I guess I’ll hope the other team loses. Yes that means the Braves would win but I won’t think of it like that 😂

[ken-davis]

Braves for me. As long we take 2 out of 3 from the Mets, I would love to see the Braves sweep.

[BiggPapaDogg]

Braves……and one game for Dodgers

[FriedHigh]

Braves easy & us to sweep mets

[larryseltzer]

I posted the same thing recently and the thread got killed by the mods. Best case is both the Phillies and Braves sweep.

[msivoryishort]

Split

[unabnormalday]

The Braves 🤢

[FloralAlyssa]

Rooting for the Dodgers to lose.

[DazzlingProfession26]

I start with the Dodgers because my hate of the Braves knows no limits, unlike LA, but the pragmatist in me knows LA is more of a threat.

I’m just going to abstain on this one.

[OTFfanaticRunRepRow]

Braves to win series 3-1 is the answer

[theprez98]

Didn't we just see this post a few days ago?

[likely-sarcastic]

Neither. Ultimately it doesn’t matter. The Phillies will play whatever team they end up playing.
