Braves vs Phillies Prediction

I’m on the Braves here. I just think this game boils down to which bullpen I trust more in this game, and without fail, that’s Atlanta’s. Sure, you have two starters in Strider and Suarez that could pitch deep enough that they don’t have to hand the ball over to the pen too early. But I think that the Braves get the late hits to get the win here. Give me the Braves.
