Trends

The over is 5-2-2 in Phillies last 9 overall. The over is 3-1-1 in Braves last 5 overall. The Phillies are 5-13 in the last 18 meetings in Atlanta.

Randy’s Pick

The Atlanta Braves should get the benefit of the doubt at home, especially with Spencer Strider on the mound, who is missing bats at an insane clip. Strider has 97 strikeouts in 57.2 innings, which is downright insane. However, this price is quite steep when you consider the Phillies offense has shown life lately and Dylan Covey has been respectable in 5 innings. We’re getting over 2 times our money. I’ll take a shot with the Phillies.
