The Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies face off on Wednesday in an MLB showdown at Citizens Bank Park. The Braves have won two of the first three games of this series. 

Braves Need the Offense to be Good Here

The Braves offense has been a strength all season and in their doubleheader on Monday the offense scored 15 runs total, including 10 runs in the first game. Every time Ronald Acuna Jr comes to the plate, opposing teams need to pitch around him and he added another home run on Monday. The Braves are averaging 5.84 runs while their pitching is giving up 4.188 runs per game. The offense is ranked 1st in the league while the defense is ranked 7th. On the mound for the Braves will be Spencer Strider who sits with a 16-5 record and an ERA of 3.83.

The Phillies are averaging 4.9 runs while their pitching is giving up 4.42 runs per game. The offense is ranked 9th in the league while the pitching is ranked 14th.

Shane’s Free Pick

This total is too high. Strider sits with an ERA of 3.83 and Sanchez sits with an ERA of 3.26. I especially expect Strider is going to lockdown here, and the Phillies bats are going to be ice cold here. Sanchez is also going to lockdown here, and he’s also going to slowdown the Braves offense here. This game is going to finish with five or six runs total and the under is going to cash here with ease.
