Preview
The Atlanta Braves and the Philadelphia Phillies will play the 2nd game series at the Truist Park on Tuesday. The Phillies took the win 7-3 in the first of the series.
Philadelphia Phillies
The Phillies get to this game with a 20-22 record and have lost 3 of their last 5 games. The team is averaging 4.50 runs per game while allowing 4.25 runs. Bryce Harper leads the team with 9 home runs and 27 RBI batting for .295 avg.
Wheeler pitched 6 2/3 strong innings with a season-high 10 strikeouts in the first of the series vs Braves.
Probable Pitcher:
Kyle Gibson (3-2, 3.98 ERA) will take the mound in the 2nd game of the series for the Phillies. Gibson took the loss after allowing two runs on eight hits across 5.2 innings during Thursday's 2-0 loss to the Padres. He recorded seven strikeouts and zero walks. He had one start against the Braves last season and allowed 4 runs but struck out 8 across 4 runs.
Atlanta Braves
The Braves get here with a 19-23 record and have lost 3 of their last 5 games. The team is averaging 4.10 runs per game with a .228 at bat while allowing 4.35 runs. Marcell Ozuna is leading the team with 8 home runs and 20 RBI while Matt Olson has the better batting average with .244.
Max Fried leads the pitching staff with 4 wins and a 3.31 ERA and 47 strikeouts.
Probable Pitcher:
Max Fried (4-2, 3.31 ERA) will be on the mound for the Atlanta in the 2nd game of the series. Fried didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's 7-6 extra-innings loss to the Brewers, giving up three runs on seven hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out six. In his last 3 starts against the Phillies he has a 3.70 ERA and 20 strikeouts across 20 innings pitched.
BETTING TRENDS
The total has gone OVER in 5 of Philadelphia's last 5 games on the road.
Philadelphia are 1-5 SU in their last 6 games when playing on the road against Atlanta.
The total has gone OVER in 13 of Atlanta's last 20 games.
The total has gone OVER in 6 of Atlanta's last 7 games at home.
Prediction
The Phillies offense is hot right now as they have averaged 5 runs per game in their last 3 games. The Braves will look to tie the series and will face Kyle Gibson who allowed 4 runs the last time he faced them. With both teams averaging over 4 runs per game and the over cashing big time, I'm taking the over on this one.
PICK: Over 8 (-110)
