Philadelphia is 8-8 over its last 16 games, winning twice as an underdog with four of the losses by just one run. The Phillies are eighth in relief pitching (3.75 ERA) while the offense is ninth in runs scored, eighth in on-base percentage, and fifth in slugging. The Phillies are 10-4 in the last 14 starts made by Aaron Nola. He has a 3.75 versus the Braves this season holding them to a .222 average and is 16-10 all-time against them with a 3.31 ERA. Meanwhile, Atlanta is on a 3-5 run losing four times as a favorite. Starter Bryce Elder comes off a 9-6 loss to Milwaukee and has allowed 11 runs and 26 hits in his last four starts (24 innings). The wagering value is on the defending NL Champs to win the game or lose by one run. Play Philadelphia on the runline.
