Atlanta Braves at Philadelphia Phillies Betting Tips – Phillies To Draw First Blood In Big MLB Series
The Philadelphia Phillies face the Atlanta Braves in a highly anticipated NL East matchup. While the Braves lead the all-time series and claimed the previous meeting, the Phillies are in stellar form, winning 15 of their last 18 games. Cristopher Sanchez, leading the league with 16 wins, strengthens their case, especially at home where Atlanta has struggled on the road. Despite both teams sending in-form pitchers, the key recommendation is to back the Phillies for a narrow victory in what promises to be a close and high-quality encounter.
- Phillies have won 15 of their last 18 games
- Cristopher Sanchez (16-4) gives Philly a home edge over Atlanta's Chris Sale
- Recommendation: Back the Phillies in a close matchup at home

Verdict
Atlanta are in good form overall, but their recent road form leaves a lot to be desired.
Philadelphia, meanwhile, have been stacking up wins with Sanchez as a starter this season, so we are taking the Phillies and the home advantage in what is likely to be a close matchup.
