The Philadelphia Phillies and Atlanta Braves meet in an NL East division matchup in MLB action from Truist Park on Wednesday night.

The Philadelphia Phillies will look to bounce back from their 2-1 loss at the hands of Atlanta in their last game. Bryce Harper leads the Phillies with a .311 batting average, a .433 OBP, 34 home runs and 82 RBIs with a team-high 40 doubles while Jean Segura has a team-high 149 hits. J.T. Realmuto also has a team-high 4 triples this season. 9-8 with a 4.64 ERA and 219 strikeouts this season.

The Atlanta Braves will try to add to another win over the Phillies from Tuesday night. Freddie Freeman leads the Braves with a .393 OBP and 176 hits with 31 home runs while Austin Riley has a .301 batting average and 32 home runs with 100 RBIs. Ozzie Albies has a team-high 103 RBIs as well with 30 homers on the year as well as 38 doubles. Max Fried will start here and is 13-7 with a 3.12 ERA and 152 strikeouts this season.

Philadelphia is 14-4 in their last 18 division games and 0-4 in their last 4 games as an underdog while the under is 5-1 in their last 6 games following a loss. Atlanta is 5-0 in their last 5 games against a team with a winning record and 6-1 in their last 7 games following a win while the under is 5-1 in their last 6 games against a team with a winning record.

I get the case that could be made for either side here, but I’m leaning towards the Braves in this spot. Nola just hasn’t pitched like the ace he was supposed to be for Philadelphia for much of the season and while Max Fried hasn’t been dominant this season, he’s certainly good enough to put the Braves in a favorable situation here. Give me Atlanta.
