Atlanta Braves vs Philadelphia Phillies Prediction

The Philadelphia Phillies are the better team, and they’re going to be favored whenever Zack Wheeler is on the mound. However, the Braves have found their spark offensively again, they’re at home and Reynaldo Lopez has been one of the best starting pitchers in the NL this season with a 2.06 ERA. Hell of a pitching matchup, but the value is with the Braves and the plus money. I like the Braves at this price point.
