Philadelphia Phillies (Suarez) @ Atlanta Braves (Fried)
ATL -1.5 (+107) – Phillies starter Ranger Suarez is coming off a rough outing against the Astros last week where he gave up 6 runs on 7 hits and only lasted 3 innings. Max Fried pitched well in September with a 2.00 ERA over 5 starts and having a lefty on the mound should also help neutralized some of the Phillies best hitters. Kyle Schwarber had a .193 BA against LHP this year and hit 10/46 HR off lefties. Bryce Harper hit .256 against LHP compared to .300 against RHP and hit 3/18 HR off LHP. Another reason I’m expecting the Braves to separate later in the game is the bullpen factor. The Braves have the 4th ranked bullpen in the MLB with a team 3.03 ERA while the Phillies are 23rd with a 4.27 ERA. This afternoon I’m going with the Braves to win by 2 and taking ATL -1.5 +107.
