Braves vs Phillies Live Stream: Score, Highlights & How to Watch Tonight’s NL East Showdown

First pitch of the latest “Braves vs Phillies” showdown is scheduled for 6:45 p.m. ET tonight (May 27) at Citizens Bank Park, with national coverage on TBS and streaming via the TBS app and MLB.tv. The three-game set continues Wednesday on MLB Network (6:45 p.m.) and wraps Thursday in a matinee carried by local RSNs. NL EAST AT A GLANCE • Philadelphia Phillies: 34-19, 1st place, ‑- games back (L1) • Atlanta Braves: 25-27, 8.5 games back, 3rd place (L1) PROBABLE PITCHING MATCHUP – GAME 1 • Phillies LHP Ranger Suárez (3-0, 3.70 ERA, 1.19 WHIP) • Braves RHP Spencer Strider (0-2, 5.79 ERA, 1.39 WHIP) Strider dominated Philadelphia in 2023 (1.53 ERA, 37 K, 17 ⅔ IP), but the hard-throwing right-hander has struggled with command through his first three starts of 2025. Suárez, meanwhile, owns a 3.14 lifetime ERA against Atlanta and has yet to allow more than three runs in any outing this year. KEY PLAYERS TO WATCH • Ronald Acuña Jr. (ATL): 6-for-13 career vs Suárez, two homers. • Kyle Schwarber (PHI): NL-leading 18 HR; 40 RBI in 50 games. • Matt Olson (ATL): 12 HR vs MLB pitching; drove in nine during the teams’ April set. • Trea Turner (PHI): .310 /.365 /.443 slash line and nine steals. INJURY REPORT Atlanta remains without closer Reynaldo López (60-day IL) and OF Jurickson Profar (suspension). Philadelphia lists Aaron Nola (triceps) on the 15-day IL and INF Edmundo Sosa day-to-day. RECENT FORM • Braves: 1-4 on their just-completed homestand; 9-18 on the road overall. • Phillies: 9-1 over their last 10, streak snapped Sunday in Oakland. BETTING ODDS & PICK The Phillies opened as slight –115 money-line favorites with the total at 8.5 runs. Given Philadelphia’s home dominance (17-8) and Atlanta’s road woes, backing Suárez and the under looks attractive. HOW TO WATCH/LIVE STREAM • TV: TBS (Tue), MLB Network (Wed), NBC Sports Philadelphia & Bally Sports South (Thu) • Streaming: TBS app, MLB.tv, Fubo, DirecTV Stream, Sling TV (check regional availability) SERIES OUTLOOK Atlanta leads the season series 2-1 after taking two of three at Truist Park in early April. This week’s clash offers the Braves a chance to close the NL East gap before the schedule ramps up with visits from Milwaukee and a road trip to Pittsburgh, while the Phillies attempt to extend their division cushion before heading to Toronto and Pittsburgh. Bottom line: if Strider recaptures his strikeout-per-inning bite and the Braves’ bullpen holds, Atlanta can flip the script. Otherwise, expect a packed Citizens Bank Park to continue fueling Philadelphia’s early-season surge.
