National League East Division rivals are set to square off on Wednesday night as the Philadelphia Phillies visit the Atlanta Braves. Atlanta took game one of the series by a score of 7-5, and they now look to win a second time in a row.
Philadelphia comes into this game with an overall record of 7-3, but they want to find a way to beat their rivals. Atlanta is now just 2-8 on the year, but they have started to look much better of late.
Here is a look at the top odds needed to predict this matchup.
Phillies vs. Braves prediction
The Atlanta Braves have scored just 31 total runs through 10 games this season, but they broke out a bit on Tuesday night. Marcell Ozuna is leading the way with one home run and 5 RBIs, but this team has a ton of talent in the lineup.
Trending
Young Grant Holmes will make the start for the Braves in this game, and he has shown that he can pitch at this level. Holmes just needs to give his team a chance by keeping the Phillies at bay.
Kyle Schwarber is having a monster season for the Phillies up to this point as he leads the way with five home runs and 11 RBIs. Bryce Harper is off to a solid start, but the Phillies need more from their leader.
Philadelphia will send Taijuan Walker to the mound in Game 2 of the series, and he could run into trouble in this one. Look for the Braves to have another big game on offense as they beat their rivals again.
