Our Atlanta Braves vs Philadelphia Phillies Pick

Despite some recent struggles, we do like Fried in this home start. The Braves play well at home, and they have some very fine fire power. Philadelphia’s Pivetta has certainly pitched well, but he does not have the same offensive thrust that the Braves enjoy. Our Atlanta Braves vs Philadelphia Phillies pick is the Braves at +143 with the run line at -1.5. Be sure to read our San Francisco Giants vs Milwaukee Brewers run line late-betting pick.
