The Atlanta Braves will try to clinch their series with the Phillies with a win in Sunday afternoon's finale. The Braves handled the Phils for an 8-2 win on Saturday and they'll now look to Tim Hudson to finish things off as they continue to push for a Wild Card berth. Hudson enters the game with a 15-6 record and a 3.77 ERA but he's been roughed up a bit in his last two outings, giving up four runs in each. This will be his fifth start of the season against the division rival Phillies, and the veteran righty has a 5.32 ERA against them in 2012.
The Phillies, who are desperately trying to chase down the second Wild Card spot, will send Cliff Lee to the mound. Lee had an interminable drought this season before picking up his first win, but he's been dominant lately during the Phillies September charge. The Phils have won all four starts he's made this month, and the lefty has posted a ridiculous .95 ERA in those outings.
