This is a 10* NL TOW on the UNDER Phillies/Braves.

Both teams have been playing to several higher-scoring games of late, but I expect a much tigher, and ultimately lower-scoring contest here in the opener of this series.

Zach Wheeler (11-6, 3.70 ERA) gets the call for the visitors, and he's been at his best on the road this year, going 7-4 with a 3.27 ERA away from friendly confines.

He'll be opposed by Kyle Wright (0-2, 7.48 ERA) who has clearly seen better days. The good news? Wright has only one way to go with his performance. Also, he's only pitched a total of 21.2 innings this season, and he still owns a decent 23:12 K:BB. I think Wright settles down here finally and matches Wheeler inning for inning.

This game will have a playoff like atmosphere about it, and I believe it'll be the men on the mound that take center stage.

This number is high, the play is the UNDER.

Good luck, NP
