Philadelphia Phillies at Atlanta Braves Prediction

Heading into game 2 of this Divisional Round matchup between Philadelphia and Atlanta, the Braves are the slight favorite on the moneyline. This marks Kyle Wright’s first start of the playoffs, while Zack Wheeler played a major role in the Phillies advancing past St. Louis, as he threw 6 1/3 scoreless innings. With Wheeler on the mound, I like Philadelphia to continue their hot streak by picking up another win.
