The Philadelphia Phillies were 87-75 during the regular season and have won three playoff games in a row. After defeating the Cardinals in the Wild Card round, Philadelphia defeated Atlanta in Game 1 of this series by a score of 7-6. The Philadelphia pitching staff has a 3.00 ERA, a 1.22 WHIP, and a .210 opponent batting average this postseason. The Phillies offense has scored 15 runs with a .226 batting average and a .309 on base percentage. Bryce Harper is batting .500 with one home run and one RBI for the Phillies this postseason.

The Atlanta Braves were 101-61 during the regular season and have lost three of their last four games. Atlanta won the NL East, but lost two out of three games against the Marlins to end the year. The Atlanta pitching staff has a 5.00 ERA, a 1.56 WHIP, and a .333 opponent batting average. The Braves offense has scored six runs with a .257 batting average and a .381 on base percentage this postseason. Matt Olson is batting .667 with one home run and three RBI’s for the Braves this season. The projected starter for Atlanta is Kyle Wright, who was 21-5 with a 3.19 ERA and a 1.16 WHIP over 180.1 innings pitched this season.

Philadelphia is 8-3 in their last 11 Wednesday games and 5-1 in their last 6 road playoff games. The over is 5-2 in Philadelphia’s last 7 road playoff games. Atlanta is 7-2 in their last 9 home playoff games and 42-13 in their last 55 home games. The under is 6-2 in Atlanta’s last 8 home games. The over is 4-0 in these two teams last 4 head to head meetings.

Philadelphia jumped all over the Braves early in Game 1 and was able to withstand a 9th inning rally to take the 1-0 series lead. Philadelphia is starting Zack Wheeler, who threw 6.1 innings of shutout baseball against the Cardinals in the Wild Card round. For the Braves, Kyle Wright has allowed two earned runs or fewer in four straight starts. I like the under in this game.
