(MLB) Philadelphia vs. Atlanta,
Money Line: -101.00 Philadelphia (Away)
Result: Loss
The Phillies are coming into this game with a 58-30 record this season and they have been playing much better in their recent games after going through a bit of a slump. They have won 4 of their last 5 games and their offense has been picking up in these. They have scored at least 5 runs in 4 of their last 5 games. They are going up against a Braves team that is 47-39 this season and has not been playing well in their recent games. They have lost their last 2 straight as well as 4 of their last 5 games and their offense has not been good in these. They have only scored 3 runs or less in 4 of their last 5 games, and they are coming off of a loss against the Phillies which they allowed 8 runs in. Ranger Suárez is starting for the Phillies in this game and he is 10-2 with a 2.27 ERA this season. He has been very consistent all year with not allowing many runs in his starts and he is going to shut down this Braves offense that has been struggling to score runs and produce offense recently. Spencer Schwellenbach is starting for the Braves in this game and he is 1-4 with a 5.68 ERA this season. He is in his rookie season and has only made 6 starts so far, but he has been allowing a lot of runs in these. He has allowed at least 4 earned runs in each of his last 2 starts as well as allowing at least 3 earned runs in 4 of his 6 starts this season, not pitching 1 start where he did not allow a run either. The Phillies are starting to heat up again so their offense is going to find ways to get on base and do some damage against this rookie, but Suarez has also been great as a starter all season and has a very good bullpen to back him up as well. The Phillies will win this game.
