DIV GAME OF THE MONTH *3-0 L3 MLB, 79-43 ALL*
(MLB) Phillies (PHI) vs. Braves (ATL),
Money Line: -110.00 Braves (ATL) (Home)
Result: Win
At 7:15 ET, my NL East GOM is on the Atlanta Braves. Give the Phillies credit. They've continued to win without Harper, Schwharber and Realmuto in the lineup. Yesterday, the Phillies took the series opener 8-6. The season series is now tied 2-2. The Braves are 23-15 off a loss and they will respond accordingly. Schwellenbach is better than many people have yet to realize. He's struck out 20 batters (versus 4 walks) in 16 innings, over his last 3 starts. There have been some problems in the day but Schwellenbach has a solid 1.14 WHIP in 4 evening starts. Suarez has enjoyed a great 1st half but he's on a downward slide. He gave up 6 hits 3 starts ago, 8 hits 2 starts ago and 10 hits (and 7 runs) versus Miami in his last start. In those 3 starts, he has 8 strikeouts compared to Schwellenbach's 20 in the same amount of innings. Play on Atlanta.
