Atlanta Braves at Philadelphia Phillies Prediction

Heading into Tuesday’s National League East matchup between Atlanta and Philadelphia, the Braves are the slight favorite on the moneyline. However, I see the best bet coming on the over-under, as runs should be hard to come by. Even though Spencer Strider is coming off a rough outing, he still has a WHIP of just 1.05 and is capable of locking down opposing teams. I recommend taking the under.
