Phillies vs Braves Prediction & Pick
If there was one word to describe playoff baseball, it would be unpredictable. The Phillies went 5-for-12 with runners in scoring position in Game 1 after struggling in that area during the Wild Card Round. Now, manager Rob Thomson sends his best pitcher to the mound with a 2-0 lead there for the taking.
Across three starts against the Braves in the regular season, Wheeler posted a 2-0 record to go along with a 2.70 ERA and 0.95 WHIP. He is opposed by Kyle Wright, who logged a 2-1 record as well as a 2.84 ERA and 0.79 WHIP in three starts against the Phillies. Runs will be at a premium in this one.
There's no pitching advantage in this game, so give me the squad with all of the momentum right now.
Final Score Prediction:'Phillies: 4 | Braves: 2
