- This is a play on the ATLANTA BRAVES for our N.L. East Game of the Month. Philadelphia avoided a sweep at home against the Dodgers as it won on Sunday 4-3 with a two-out, walk-off win in the tenth inning thanks to an error by Max Muncy that would have ended the game. The Phillies are still in a rut as they have lost five of their last seven games and are now 19-22 overall which is good for a tie with Atlanta for second place in the National League East, eight games behind the Mets. The offense has been producing well this season but they have struggled of late, averaging only 2.3 rpg during this recent seven-game stretch. Zack Wheeler gets the ball for the Phillies and while he has been solid of late, he has a 10.80 ERA and 2.16 WHIP in two road starts. The Phillies are 3-7 in their last 10 games against teams with a losing record. The Braves come into the new week with the identical record as it matches the Phillies as the most underachieving team in the division and possibly the entire National League. Atlanta is coming off a series win against Miami over the weekend and have been average by going 7-6 over their last 13 games with the offense remaining inconsistent with a chance to succeed on Monday. Over the past two weeks, the Braves starting rotation has been one of the best in baseball as they are ranked second in FIP and fifth in K/9 rate. Tucker Davidson will be making his second start of the season after allowing no runs on three hits in five innings against the Brewers. The Braves are 37-14 in their last 51 games following a loss. 10* (958) Atlanta Braves
