Rotation #909-910
Braves/Phillies Over 8 runs
Holmes/Painter
We have picked on the Phillies a lot this year, but finally, they get relief: they won’t be facing a left-handed starter, and the lineup might be able to get into a rhythm on offense. Both teams, in fact, are much better against right-handed pitching, and although the weather conditions are not favorable, Citizens Bank Park is a good place for hitters. Phillies rookie starter Andrew Painter has a big arm, but the Braves are one of the better teams in the league at not striking out. Braves starter Grant Holmes will allow his fair share of walks, which could give Philadelphia the spark to get a crooked inning on the board, finally. Look for both teams to do enough to make this a higher-scoring game. Take the Over.
