Philadelphia Phillies vs Atlanta Braves 9/24/22 MLB Picks, Predictions, Odds

The Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies meet Saturday in MLB action at Citizens Bank Park. The Atlanta Braves look to snap a 3-game losing streak. The Philadelphia Phillies look for a win after splitting their last 10 games. 

The Atlanta Braves have scored 3 runs in their last 3 games and 3 or fewer runs in 4 straight games. The Braves have lost 5 of their last 6 games when scoring 3 or fewer runs. Dansby Swanson leads the Braves with 165 hits and 88 RBI, while Austin Riley and Matt Olson have combined for 298 hits and 183 RBI. Kyle Wright gets the ball, and he is 19-5 with a 3.18 ERA and 165 strikeouts this season. Wright is 1-3 with a 3.96 ERA and 17 strikeouts in his career against the Phillies.

The Philadelphia Phillies have scored 14 runs in their last 3 games and 3 or fewer runs in 6 of their last 10 games. The Phillies have lost 6 of their last 9 games when scoring 3 or fewer runs. Alec Bohm leads the Phillies with 158 hits and 68 RBI, while Rhys Hoskins and Nick Castellanos have combined for 268 hits and 137 RBI. Bailey Falter gets the ball, and he is 5-3 with a 3.68 ERA and 62 strikeouts this season. This will be Falter’s second career game against the Braves.

The Braves are 24-8 in their last 32 Saturday games and 70-31 in their last 101 overall. The Phillies are 36-17 in their last 53 home games and 2-5 in their last 7 overall. The under is 6-1 in Braves last 7 overall. The under is 4-1 in Phillies last 5 overall. The Braves are 1-5 in the last 6 meetings in Philadelphia.

Kyle Wright has been the more consistent pitcher and the Braves don’t sting together losses at all. Bailey Falter has been solid this season overall, but he has a 4.54 ERA and .263 allowed batting average at home. I just don’t see the Braves adding to this losing stretch much longer, especially as they’re fighting for a division crown. I’ll lay the small juice with the road team.
