BETTING TRENDS
Philadelphia are 1-5 SU in their last 6 games against Atlanta.
The total has gone OVER in 7 of Philadelphia's last 7 games on the road.
The total has gone OVER in 4 of Atlanta's last 5 games against Philadelphia.
The total has gone OVER in 6 of Atlanta's last 6 games at home.
Prediction
The Braves offense is still hot and they have scored 17 runs on this series and they've won 5 of their last 6 games against the Phillies. They're sending Kyle Wright to the mound who has been pretty good so far this season and has allowed only 1 run in his last 2 starts. Aaron Nola has been shaky and the Phillies have lost in 8 of his 9 starts. Take the Braves.
