Phillies vs Braves betting information
Ranger Suarez (7-5 4.07 ERA) Vs Max Fried (10-3, 2.64 ERA)
The Phils will be looking to get back on the saddle tonight, especially considering that they’re only 1.5 games back from the St. Louis Cardinals, who occupy the final wildcard spot.
Atlanta is facing some bumps and bruises of its own, losing some key players over the past few weeks and at least leveling the playing field here.
As far as a pitching showdown, Suarez is 1-1 in his two starts vs Atlanta with an ERA of 5.04. Fried has been red-hot over these past two months, posting a 2.16 ERA, while none of his nine starts saw him allow more than 3 runs. The Phils are going to have to get hot early tonight.
The run-total being set at 8 here is a little striking. I feel as though this could easily be a game where 10+ runs come in easily, especially if the Phils wave the white flag early. For context, there were 7+ runs in each of the games against Chicago and Philadelphia were only ever really competitive in one of those games. I’ll be taking the over here.
A $100 bet on over 8 runs would net you a return of $180! Considering that the bet would be refunded as a free bet if it loses, it’s a free shot at an $80 win!
