Atlanta at Philadelphia

The Atlanta Braves needed a win in game 2 and got a huge pitching performance out of Kyle Wright in a 3-0 win. The series shifts to Philadelphia this afternoon and they will hand the ball to Spencer Strider. Strider has led the Braves to an 8-2 mark in his last 10 starts. The margin in those 10 games shows the Braves dominating at 67-26. Strider has also been perfect in his 3 career starts vs Philadelphia with a 3-0 mark backed by a 1.45 ERA. The Braves have won the 3 games by an average of 6 runs per contest. The Phillies turn to Aaron Nola who has not had a lot of success vs the Braves as his team is 6-8 against them in his last 14 starts. Nola and the Phillies have allowed 5 or more runs in 8 of the 14. I like Atlanta in this one.
