Signs of Life for the Braves?

Are the Braves finally showing some signs of life? The Braves have had an awful start to the season, but on Tuesday, they finally showed some signs of life. Sean Murphy hit a home run, drove in four RBIs, and also had two hits. The Braves had 11 hits, and they need to build on that here. Even though they won, Chris Sale wasn’t great, going 4.2 innings and giving up nine hits and five runs. With the way the offense has been overall,  they need strong pitching. They might have gotten lucky on Tuesday. 

The Braves are averaging 2.67 runs per game, while their pitching is giving up 4.0 runs per game. The offense is ranked 30th in the league, while the defense is ranked 13th. Grant Holmes will get the start for the Braves, who has a 0-1 record and an ERA of 7.20. Against the Dodgers, he went four innings, giving up four hits and four runs. 

Phillies Pitching Looks to Bounce Back

The Phillies’ pitching really struggled on Tuesday, and they are going to look to bounce back in a big way. The Phillies scored five runs, but the pitching gave up seven runs. Zack Wheeler went 5.1 innings, giving up eight hits and five runs. They need a much better start here. Even though they lost, Kyle Schwarber had another strong game, finishing with one home run and driving in three RBIs. 

The Phillies are averaging 5.0 runs per game, while their pitching is giving up 3.22 runs per game. Taijuan Walker will start for the Phillies, and he has a 1-0 record and an ERA of 0.00. In his first start against the Rockies, he went six innings, giving up three hits and zero runs.

Philadelphia Phillies vs Atlanta Braves Prediction

Give me the Phillies to bounce back in a big way. The Braves’ run scoring has been an issue all season, and don’t let Tuesday’s sudden breakout fool you. This just isn’t a very good scoring team. Now, they have to face Walker, who was dominant in his first start and is going to be dominant again here. The Phillies’ bats will build off Tuesday’s game, and they are going to end up cruising here to a victory. Back the Phillies.
