Phillies-Braves stands out as MLB wild card round's only close series
Original: Round 1's best series, still ongoing. The other three series weren't close https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7649449/2026
The Phillies and Braves are delivering the most compelling matchup of baseball's wild card round, a series still undecided while the other three first-round playoff series ended without much suspense. Coverage of the roundup notes the lopsided nature of the rest of the opening round, leaving this one series as the early postseason's main draw.
Why now: The MLB playoffs are underway and the Phillies-Braves series is the only competitive one, drawing fan attention.
