Atlanta Braves vs Philadelphia Phillies

ATL 83-57  ยท  PHI 79-61

๐Ÿ“Matchup Preview

The Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies renew their NL East rivalry tonight, with the Atlanta Braves sending Chris Sale to the mound behind a 2.06 ERA. The Philadelphia Phillies counter with Cristopher Sanchez, who has pitched well this season.

Chris Sale's 11.1 K/9 gives the Atlanta Braves a meaningful advantage on the mound, as his elite ability to consistently miss bats can limit the Philadelphia Phillies' lineup.

The Atlanta Braves have also won their last game and taken 8 of the last 10 meetings between these two teams.

The market gives a slight edge to the Atlanta Braves, pricing them at -108.

SportsFBI's outlook favors the Philadelphia Phillies tonight, driven primarily by Cristopher Sanchez's home/road splits and Philadelphia Phillies' bullpen edge. The Philadelphia Phillies enter as the stronger overall matchup.
