PHILADELPHIA PHILLES
VS ATLANTA BRAVES
Hi baseball fans! Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies will meet in the 2nd game of their series tonight atTurner Field, Atlanta while Braves are leading the series 1-0.
Braves were victorious 4-3 last night and game went under the total (8½) line. Tonight, both Braves and Phillies will have their Aces on the mound so we can expect a low scoring game in this one.
The Atlanta Braves are ranked 26 in hitting, with a batting average of .232. The Braves are averaging 4.9 runs per game this season with an OPS of .707. The Atlanta Braves are ranked 16 in pitching, with an earned run average of 3.84. Opponents are hitting .232 for average, and have a .308 on base percentage and .232 OPS against the Braves this season. On the other side, The Philadelphia Phillies are ranked 3 in hitting, with a batting average of .286. The Phillies are averaging 6.2 runs per game this season with an OPS of .843. The Philadelphia Phillies are ranked 13 in pitching, with an earned run average of 3.80. Opponents are hitting .256 for average, and have a .315 on base percentage and .256 OPS against the Phillies this season.
Weather Report
Fog is expected. Wind: NNW 5
Jimmy Rollins (shortstop) is out (calf) for this game since he's in 15-Day DL. Diory Hernandez (2B, Shoulder) and Jordan Schafer (CF, Wrist) are out in Atlanta Braves.
Braves will give the ball to Tim Hudson (R) in this one while Phillies will have Doc Roy Halladay on the mound. Roy Halladay is 0.96 WHIP, 3-0 and 1.12 ERA so far this season. On the other side, Tim Hudson has impressive numbers with 3-0, 1.11 WHIP and 2.84 ERA as well..
I'm expecting a Pitchers Duel in this one. In addition, Under is 2-0-3 in Braves last 5 during game 2 of a series and Under is 5-1 in Braves last 6 home games.
We may only see 2 or 3 runs scored in this game with the Doc on the mound for the Phillies. Not to mention, Phillies bats have been very quiet lately. Braves' offense is not impressive either. In addition, Under is 4-1 in Braves last 5 home games vs. a right-handed starter.
My pick is Under 7½ for this contest. Under is 5-1 in Braves last 6 games as a home underdog and 6-2 in Braves last 8 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600! If you ask my opinion about side bet, Phillies have the edge here in my opinion. However, Phillies batters are not very hot lately and Hudson has impressive numbers so far this season. So I like to stick with total in this one. Liked the Braves as homedog but can't go against Halladay. Braves are homedog but it's a bonus for our under bet since Under is 22-8-1 in Braves last 31 games as a home underdog of +110 to +150.
I'm expecting a low scoring game in this one. Not to mention, Under is 6-2 in the last 8 meetings in Atlanta and 8-3 in the last 11 meetings. Moreover, Under is 3-1-1 in Braves last 5 vs. National League East! Pick Under 7½, Grab your beer and enjoy the game, GL!
Under 7½ Runs -102
