The Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies resume their best-of-5 NL Division Series at 4:37 p.m. ET Friday game at Citizens Bank Park. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Braves vs. Phillies odds with MLB picks and predictions.
Playoff series: Tied 1-1
NL East champion Atlanta went 3-for-4 with runners in scoring position en route to bouncing back from a 7-6 Game 1 loss to win 3-0 in Game 2. The clutch hitting helped the Braves win despite failing to homer for just the 2nd time in its last 13 games, including the regular season.
The Phillies on Thursday were held without a round-tripper for the 5th time in their last 6 games. Philadelphia will likely be glad to get back home where it has banged out 19 home runs in its last 11 games. The Phils logged a robust .840 OPS in going 7-4 in those 11 home games. They ended the season on a long road trip before heading into their Wild Card Series against the St. Louis Cardinals. Philadelphia has not had a home game since Sept. 25.
