NLDS Odds: Phillies-Braves prediction, odds and pick

The Atlanta Braves host the Philadelphia Phillies for the NLDS on Tuesday. The Braves won 101 games and stole theNL East Division from the New York Mets. Philadelphia won the Wild Card against the St. Louis Cardinals. Atlanta and Philadelphia have played each other 18 times this season.

Ranger Suarez is starting for Philadelphia. He had a 3.65 ERA and 129 strikeouts in 155.1 innings in the regular season. Suarez has a lot of weight on his shoulders for this game. The Braves are a good hitting team with a power-packed right side. Bryce Harper's homer in Game 1 in St. Louis silenced the crowd. Rhys Hoskins, Kyle Schwarber, J.T. Realmuto, and Nick Castellanos are still hitless.

Max Fried will start for the Braves in Game 1 against the Phillies. Fried was one of the best pitchers in the game this season. Atlanta has one the most talented lineups in baseball. Ronald Acuna Jr. is one their best players.

The pitching matchup favors the Braves. They are at home and they are a team that hits southpaws.

The final NLDS prediction and pick is Atlanta Braves -1.5.
