Freddie Freeman leads the Braves with 101 hits and 55 RBI while Ozzie Albies and Austin Riley have combined for 185 hits and 110 RBI. Max Fried gets the ball, and he is 7-5 with a 4.29 ERA and 79 strikeouts this season. Fried is 3-2 with a 4.08 ERA and 42 strikeouts in his career against the Phillies.

The Braves are 4-1 in their last 5 Friday games and 1-5 in their last 6 games as a road underdog. The Phillies are 5-2 in their last 7 home games and 1-4 in their last 5 games as a favorite. The over is 5-2 in Braves last 7 overall. The over is 11-2 in Phillies last 13 overall. The Braves are 1-5 in the last 6 meetings in Philadelphia.

Max Fried has been hit or miss this season and it’s hard to figure out what you’re going to get from start to start. Zack Wheeler has settled in lately and has allowed eight earned runs in his last 26.1 innings. Zack Wheeler is allowing a .204 batting average in 150 at bats against current Braves hitters. Give me the Phillies and the cheap price because of who is on the mound.
