The Braves lead the season set, 12-6, after the clubs split the first two games of this series. With Friday night's victory, the Braves tied the Atlanta-era, single-season record for most wins over Philadelphia...The 2012 team also won 12 games...they have now won at least 11 games over Philadelphia in six of the last seven years; they went 6-13 against the Phillies last season. RHP Kevin Gausman is set to face Philadelphia for the third time this season and for the second time in a Braves uniform...the righty allowed three runs, earned, and five hits, but was left with a nodecision in an 8-3 win on September 20...That game was the opener of a four-game series sweep over Philadelphia that helped the Braves clinch the National League East. LHP Ranger Suárez is set to make his fourth career appearance and third start today...the lefty has never faced the Braves and is 1-1 with a 8.00 ERA (8 ER/9.0 IP) in his two starts. SCENARIOS: The Braves can secure home-field advantage for the National League Division Series with a win and a loss by both Colorado and Los Angeles... Colorado is playing host to Washington, while the Dodgers are in San Francisco. Any other scenario will result in the Braves travelling for Game 1 of the NLDS, which is on Thursday, October 4. Game 2 is on Friday, October 5, with Game 3 on Sunday, October 7...If necessary, Game 4 is scheduled for Monday, October WINS: With Friday night's victory, the Braves earned their 90th win of the season...they became the first National League team to reach 90 wins in a season following three or more consecutive 90-loss seasons since the 1991 Braves. That 1991 club went and reached the World Series after four consecutive 90-loss seasons. The Braves went in 2015, in 2016 and last season. The Braves earned the franchise's 18th 90-win season since Major League Baseball went to a 162- game schedule in 1962 for the NL. The 18 total 90-win seasons since 1962 are tied for the second most in the National League with St. Louis and San Francisco...The Dodgers, this year, lead with 24 such seasons. HOME RUNS: OF Ronald Acuña Jr. has a teamhigh 26 home runs, two more than 2B Ozzie Albies... Acuña Jr. is looking to become the first rookie to lead Braves outright in home runs since 1943, when Chuck Workman hit 10 for the Boston Braves. Workman, a 28-year-old rookie, was the only player who hit double-digit homers for the Braves that season, as the club finished with 39 total home runs. HITS: 1B Freddie Freeman is tied for the major league lead with a career-high 191 hits...kansas City's Whit Merrifield also has 191. Freeman is trying to become the first Braves player to lead the majors in total hits since 1968, when Felipe Alou had 210 to tie Cincinnati's Pete Rose for the most. The last Braves player to lead the majors outright in hits was Alou, who had 218 in The last Braves player to lead the National League in hits was Terry Pendleton, who had 199 in 1992 to tie Pittsburgh s Andy Van Slyke for the most in the league...the last Braves player to lead outright was Pendelton (187) in ON THE ROAD: The Braves collected their 47th win of the season away from SunTrust Park Friday night, and have the best road record in the National League at (.588). The 47 road wins are the club's most in a single season since the 2004 team also won 47. The 2002 team was the last to win more than 47 road games, going (.613). 162: OF Nick Markakis has started every game this season and is trying to become the fifth Braves player since the National League went to a 162-game schedule in 1962 to start all 162. OF Felix Milán did in 1969, before OF Andruw Jones started 162 in OF Jeff Francoeur started every game in consecutive seasons, 2006 and 2007, before 1B Freddie Freeman accomplished the feat in DOUBLES: 2B Ozzie Albies collected his 40th double of the season Friday night, joining OF Nick Markakis and 1B Freddie Freeman as the third Braves player to reach 40 doubles this season. Upcoming Schedule and Probable Pitchers This is the first time in franchise history the Braves have had three players reach that mark in a single season...the team only had two players reach 40 doubles in season once before...jeff Francoeur (40) and Chipper Jones (42) accomplished the feat in The last time a National League team accomplished the feat was 2006, when Garret Atkins, Todd Helton and Matt Holliday all reached 40 doubles for the Colorado Rockies.
