The Phillies lost 2 of their last 3 games and are entering this one off of a loss. They won their last series against the San Diego Padres 3-1 in a 4-game series. They enter this game with a 39-36 record overall and have a home record of 19-18.

The current betting odds have the Phillies listed as a -110 favorite but the odds are split that way for both teams. The Phillies have already dropped the series opener here after coming back from behind in the game just to lose anyway. They had plenty of chances to score runs in that game though, leaving runners stranded in scoring position in most of those innings. The Braves have Anderson starting here and even though he did have a good start to the season, he has begun to regress recently and has been allowing more runs in his starts now. He is coming off of another start where he allowed 4 runs and the Phillies are already putting players in scoring position, they will capitalize on Anderson here. The Phillies have Nola starting here and he has been very good all season , coming off of another great start in his last game as well. He has pitched even better at home than on the road this season as well and he will be able to keep the Braves off the board here for the Phillies to take at least one of these games in the series. The best way to place a bet here is on the Phillies to win this game.
