Atlanta is starting Charlie Morton, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in three of his last five starts, but did allow six earned runs to the Dodgers in his last start. Philadelphia is starting Zack Wheeler, who has allowed seven earned runs over his last two starts (12 IP). I like the Braves in this matchup.
