Philadelphia Phillies vs Atlanta Braves Prediction

I’ll stay with the Phillies. Nola is pitching well over his last trio. In those three he’s 1-0 with just two earned runs in 19.0 combined innings. As for SchwelleNBAch, he’s 1-1 in his last three with five earned combined over 16.1 innings of work.

On Saturday the Phillies didn’t get much going on offense, but it was enough to secure the shutout win. A couple of homers did the scoring work, while Wheeler and the gang held it down on the mound. I like the Phillies to keep it going Sunday.
