Preview

The Atlanta Braves and the Philadelphia Phillies will play the 3rd game series at the Truist Park on Wednesday night. The Braves took the win in the second of the series. Contreras singled home Ronald Acuña Jr. in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the Atlanta Braves a 6-5 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies.

 Kyle Gibson was charged with seven hits and two runs in five innings.

Probable Pitcher: 

Ranger Suarez (4-2, 4.12 ERA) will take the mound in the 3rd game of the series for the Phillies. Suarez took the loss Friday, giving up three runs on five hits and two walks over three innings in a 4-1 loss to the Dodgers. He struck out five.

Max Fried allowed five hits and two runs with two walks and five strikeouts in six innings.

Probable Pitcher:

Charlie Morton (3-3, 4.95 ERA) will be on the mound for the Atlanta in the 3rd game of the series. Morton picked up the win Friday, giving up three runs on seven hits and a walk over 5.1 innings in a 5-3 victory over the Marlins. He struck out five. He has a 1.36 ERA in his last 3 starts against the Phillies.

BETTING TRENDS

The total has gone OVER in 5 of Philadelphia's last 5 games on the road.

Philadelphia are 1-6 SU in their last 7 games when playing on the road against Atlanta.

The total has gone OVER in 4 of Atlanta's last 6 games.

The total has gone OVER in 5 of Atlanta's last 5 games at home.

Prediction

The Phillies offense continue to stay hot as they have averaged 5 runs per game in their last 4 games. The Braves will look to win this game with the help of Charlie Morton who has dominated the Phillies in his last 3 starts. Ranger Suarez has been shaky so I'll take the Braves to win this game.

PICK: Braves ML (-145)
