The set-up: The Phillies came back and beat the Braves last night, but I like the home side to get the job done on Thursday afternoon. Both teams are equally as "hungry" for victories here. Philadelphia needs victories to stay alive in the race, and ATL is still hunting down the No. 1 spot in the Senior Circuit. But after yesterday's setback, I think the home side responds. The visitors hand the ball to Aaron Nola, while the home side goes with Mike Soroka.

The pitchers: Nola (12-5, 3.62 ERA) is 3-1 vs. the Braves in five starts this year with a 4.06 ERA.

Soroka (12-4, 2.57) has a 4.82 ERA and no decisions over two games faced vs. the Phillies this year. For arguments sakes, I'm calling the starters a "wash" today.

The pick: Atlanta can win the division pennant with a win today and tomorrow and after dropping the first two of this series, I look for it to take care of the first of those two steps this afternoon. Great price on the home side here in this great situational spot wager.
