Two up with three to play

The Braves host Philly this weekend in a series that will be fiercely contested by the Braves and used as a warm-up for the playoffs by the NL East champion Phillies. The other series of importance is in San Fran, where the Giants host the Padres. The Giants have a three game lead in the NL West, so the Padres must win all three games to force a one-game playoff on Monday.
