It appears that Atlanta's youth movement is starting to pay dividends. The Braves have won nine of their last 10 games after Wednesday's 12-2 blowout win over the Phillies, who have lost three straight. Freddie Freeman extended his hitting streak to 30 games and his on-base streak to 46 games. Josh Collmenter was traded to the Braves from Arizona earlier this month and has produced two wins while giving up four runs and nine hits in 12 innings. Philadelphia also has a young team, but it seems to be fading as the season winds down as the Phillies have lost six in a row to Atlanta. Jeremy Hellickson gave up six runs and seven hits in just 4 1/3 innings his last start against the Mets while also walking three batters. In his last two outings against Atlanta, Hellickson has allowed seven runs and 14 hits in 11 2/3 innings. The Phillies have lost eight of their last nine road games and 35 of their last 51 against NL East teams. Play the Braves on the runline.
