Chris’ Pick

I’m sticking with the Braves here. I know the Braves haven’t looked good since clinching the division, but we just saw this matchup a few days ago and the Braves dominated that one as Strider continued the dominance of the Phillies in his brief career with another win last time out. I think this is where the Braves draw the line in the sand and get a nice bounce back so give me the Braves here.
