Philadelphia at Atlanta

These teams have split so far in this series and I like Atlanta here thanks to the pitching matchup. Reynaldo Lopez owns a 1.83 ERA (1.15 WHIP). The Braves have been using him sparingly to avoid overstress. Of his 15 starts, 14 have come with over four days rest. He is opposed by Michael Mercado who has started only one MLB game thus far and remains an unknown quantity. Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber remain out for Philly due to injury. Back the proven pitcher at home having a banner year. Take Atlanta.
