They enter this game with a 42-32 record overall and have a road record of 18-15. This is the 2nd game of a 3-game series with the Phillies on Wednesday with the series opener still to be played on Tuesday. Their offense ranks 4th in the MLB with a .752 OPS. Charlie Morton is their starting pitcher on Tuesday while Kyle Wright will be making his start in this game on Wednesday. He is 8-4 with a 3.18 ERA this season. His team won 4 of their last 5 games with him making an appearance. In his last start, he allowed 4 earned runs, 1 homer, and 1 BB with 4 strikeouts on 10 hits through 5.1 innings played against the San Francisco Giants. 

 

The Phillies are entering this game on a 2 game winning streak. They won their last series against the San Diego Padres 3-1 in a 4-game series. They enter this game with a 39-35 record overall and have a home record of 19-17. This is the 2nd game of a 3-game series with the Braves on Wednesday with the 1st game still to be played on Tuesday. Their offense ranks 9th in the MLB with a .729 OPS. Zack Wheeler is on the mound on Tuesday while Ranger Suárez will be throwing the first pitch in this game on Wednesday. He is 6-4 with a 4.23 ERA this season. His team won their last 2 straight games with him making an appearance. In his last start, he allowed 2 ER, 1 HR, and 2 BB with 3 Ks on 7 hits through 7.1 IP against the San Diego Padres. 

The current betting odds have the Braves listed as a favorite in this game. They have been playing very well as they have been heating up recently but they hit a bit of a snag in their last series against the Dodgers, losing that series. They have been hitting the ball very well on their run though and their pitching has also been on point as it was not earlier this season. Wright is starting here and he has been great this season as he leads his team in wins but has also been very solid in most of his starts this season. He is coming off of a bad start in his last but he has been very consistent this season and will likely bounce back from that bad performance in his last start. Suarez is starting for the Phillies here and he has not been as good as Wright has been this season, allowing a lot of runs in a few of his starts and pitching very inconsistently from start to start. He only allowed 2 runs in his last start but that is a good start for him while his bad starts are very damaging to the team. The best way to place a bet on this game is on the Braves to win here.
