Phillies vs Braves predictions: Who we see winning NL wild card Game 3

The opening round of the 2026 Major League Baseball postseason has reached a decisive third game following three sweeps in the other matchups. The Philadelphia Phillies and Atlanta Braves are set to clash in a winner-take-all contest tonight to determine the final participant for the division series.

Earlier in the series, Atlanta took the opener courtesy of a three-run blast in the eighth frame by Austin Riley, while Philadelphia answered in the second contest via a tenth-frame solo home run from Alec Bohm. Expert predictions for the finale vary, with some analysts backing the pitching staff of Aaron Nola and Zack Wheeler along with hitters like Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber to push Philadelphia through, while others project a late breakdown by the Phillies bullpen to hand Atlanta the victory.

Viewers can catch the broadcast on NBC or stream the action live on Peacock starting at 8 p.m. Eastern Time.
