What happened: MLB Network said Atlanta would have the advantage if the scheduled game turns into a battle of bullpens. The matchup begins with the series between the Braves and Phillies tied 1-1.

Why it matters: That relief question matters for the Braves because a bullpen-heavy game can swing on matchup choices rather than length from the opening pitchers. It also puts extra weight on late-inning execution in a postseason spot with no margin in the series.

What to watch: Watch how quickly either club turns to relief arms once the game gets underway. The first call out of the bullpen should show how aggressively each side plans to manage the night.
