After surprising the baseball world by defeating the Saint Louis Cardinals on the road, the Philadelphia Phillies head to Atlanta to take on one of the hottest teams in baseball in the Braves. Atlanta will start their ace, Max Fried, in Game 1 against Ranger Suarez for the Phils.
Fried had an electric second half. He posted a 2.18 ERA, down from a 2.64 mark before the All-Start break. Suarez was more so durable with a 3.15 ERA in the second half.
Both teams have similar-performing bullpens and both have above average-offenses when it comes to facing left-handed pitching since August 1 (Phillies at 123 wRC+, Braves at 115 wRC+).
Still, there is a reason the Braves are favored so heavily in this game, but offensively, they should be able to produce with Suarez on the hill.
