Chip's 'Guaranteed' MLB Power Play
(MLB) Philadelphia vs. Atlanta,
Money Line: -102.00 Philadelphia (Away)
Result: Loss
Philadelphia at Atlanta 7:10 ET
Phillies over Braves- Okay, here it is, both clubs are starting their aces as the first place and home town Braves send Max Fried (3-0, 1.24 ERA) who hasn't given up a run in his last two starts. Philadelphia will start Aaron Nola (2-1, 2.05) who has like Fried thrown 13 straight scoreless innings is 11-5 with a 2.82 ERA in 19 career starts against Atlanta. Fried is 2-2 with a 4.55 ERA lifetime against the Phillies. The fact that the visitor is just 4-10 at Atlanta and yet are favored over the Braves ace gives me pause to wonder why Nola is favored here. Add that Philly is 2-4 on the road and Atlanta 8-3 at home gives me the visitor that with this line. Take PHILADELPHIA!
