Braves vs Phillies Preview, Pick
The Braves will send southpaw Chris Sale to the bump. Sale has posted solid numbers against this Phillies lineup, holding them to a .257 batting average over 101 career at-bats. The lefty is expected to be stellar on Thursday for Atlanta in this crucial game.
The Phillies will counter with their ace, Zack Wheeler. Wheeler has been dominant lately, not allowing a single run in his last three starts. The veteran also owns outstanding numbers against Atlanta, holding it to a .206 batting average over 296 at-bats.
We’re trusting both aces to be locked in today and to cash the under.
Pick: Under 7.5 (-118, BetMGM)
