Phillies vs Braves Prediction
The Atlanta Braves will host the Philadelphia Phillies for their divisional series finale this Sunday from Truist Park on the MLB Network.
Phillies Betting Preview
Philadelphia moved to 25-27 after defeating Atlanta. The Phillies avoided a sweep by winning game three, and they’ll look to steal a few games in Atlanta this weekend. The Philadelphia offense is scoring 4.45 runs per game, while batting .266, with a .322 on-base percentage. The pitching staff carries a 4.95 ERA, with a 1.37 WHIP. Alec Bohm has a hit in seven of the last eight games, and he leads the Phillies in RBI (37). Bryce Harper homered in game one against Atlanta, and he leads Philly in batting at .321. Bryson Stott has collected a hit in nine of the last ten games to bring his team-lead to 61.
Dylan Covey (0-0, 3.00 ERA, 9 Ks) will take the mound for Philadelphia. The rookie pitcher looked good in his Phillies debut after coming over from Los Angeles, striking out six in five full innings of work, while allowing one run.
Braves Betting Preview
Atlanta moved to 31-21 after losing to Philly. The Braves avoided the sweep by standing their ground in ATL, and they’ll look to build on that here. The Atlanta offense is scoring 3.55 runs per game, while batting .257, with a .337 on-base percentage. The pitching staff carries a 3.55 ERA, with a 1.27 WHIP. Ronald Acuna Jr. had multiple hits in the game one victory, and he’s leading Atlanta in BA (.322) and hits (66). Sean Murphy went yard last night to bring his team-lead in RBI to 37. is carrying a six-game hit streak into the weekend, and he’s first on the team in RBI (36). Marcell Ozuna has completely revived after a cold start, homering in three of the last four games to bring his splits to .231/11/22.
Spencer Strider (4-2, 2.97 ERA, 97 Ks) will get the call for Atlanta. The second-year pitcher suffered his second loss of the season to Los Angeles last week, despite tossing eleven strikeouts. Strider has pitched five quality starts, and cleared nine strikeouts in eight of his first ten outings.
Philadelphia vs Atlanta Trends
Philadelphia is 19-30 against the spread this season, with a 21-25-3 O/U record. Atlanta is 20-29 ATS this year, with a 29-19-1 over/under record.
Corey’s Free Pick
Atlanta on the verge of dropping this sweep at home, and I believe Spencer Strider comes out and prevents that. The Braves’ ace pitcher has been a force on the mound this season, and I like him coming through under the primetime lights tonight. Atlanta’s bats have continued to resurge, and Strider should receive the proper run support. Back Atlanta Sunday night for game four.
