Braves vs Phillies Prediction 

Atlanta comes into this matchup with just two wins on the season, but they have split their last four games and will be looking for their first series win of the year here. The Braves have really struggled offensively to start the season, and they will be facing Jesus Luzardo, who has allowed just two earned runs over 12.0 innings of work this year. Philadelphia has also split their last four games, but they are 8-3 in the season and leading the division. The Phillies are going up against Spencer Schwellenbach, who has allowed zero earned runs and just three hits over 14 innings this year. I know Schwellenbach has been elite in his first two starts, but I don’t trust the Atlanta bats at all and will take the Phillies with the small plus money.
