The Philadelphia Phillies begin their quest for a third consecutive postseason appearance on Friday, March 29 when they welcome the hated Atlanta Braves to Citizens Bank Park for Opening Day. The Phillies will send newly extended co-ace Zack Wheeler to the mound for his first ever Opening Day start. He will battle Atlanta’s Spencer Strider. Strider was rocked in his last out at The Bank, a 3-1 loss in NLDS Game 4.
