The set-up: The Braves were picked by many to possibly upset the Dodgers in the National League this year, so after their 0-2 start, there's no question that they'll be eager to finally break into the winners circle here this afternoon. Ian Anderson gets the nod for the visiting side and he enters off a strong Spring showing. In his final tune-up he struck out nine over just 4.2 innings of work, finishing with a huge 18:3 K:BB over 8.2 innings of work.

The pick: Zach Eflin goes for the home side. Eflin dealt with some minor injuries in the Spring, so his workload was less than usual. I give Anderson the slight nod in this matchup, as he had a full and dominant spring. Also note that Philly is just 1-6 in its last seven vs. right-handed starters, while ATL is still 37-14 in its last 51 as a favorite. Look for Atlanta to finally break through with a victory tonight.

This is a 10* NL GAME OF THE WEEK on the Braves.
