What happened: Philadelphia turns to the right-hander in a Wild Card matchup that remains level at 1-1. Over his last 12 starts, Nola has logged 67.0 innings with a 1.18 WHIP, 65 strikeouts and 23 walks.

Why it matters: Philadelphia is again leaning on Aaron Nola after his August rebound in the lone Wild Card Series still undecided. The Phillies split the first two games in Atlanta, dropping a 5-3 opener before a 4-3 response Wednesday.

By the numbers: Last 12 starts: 67.0 IP, 2.82 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, 65 K, 23 BB. Atlanta finished the season 92-67, while Philadelphia went 83-75.

What to watch: Watch Nola's workload early and whether Philadelphia can turn a 1-1 series into a lead Thursday night.
