Atlanta Braves (R. Erlin -L) +125 vs. Philadelphia Phillies (Z. Wheeler -R)

8/28/20 Best Bet: Whatcha really know about the Dirty South?! Well, I know I like the Braves today. Maybe this comes from my Mets fandom and fade of Zack Wheeler, who’s done well this year by limiting the long ball. But it mostly comes from my want to fade the Phillies. The Phillies come into the game winners of three straight but they haven’t done particularly great against the Braves this year. Erlin has a high strike out rate (10.93 K/9) and a low BABIP (.242), which he will need against this good hitting Phillies team. I think there’s value in the plus number, gimmie the Braves tonight in the City of Brotherly Love.
