00:00Philadelphia is a home favorite tonight at minus 154. The

00:07Philz unable to sweep the scrolls yesterday. They got

00:10plank ten nothing but they did win the first two games of the

00:14series. They had won nine of their last thirteen before last

00:17night's loss to Houston. The Braves coming off a sweep in

00:21Minneapolis. They continue the road trip tonight in Philly. An

00:25important opener for a significant four-game set this

00:29weekend DRS in Philadelphia. What do you expect? Yeah,

00:33you're taking a look at that price point and I know a lot of

00:35people might be saying like, oh, that's really too high for

00:37the Philadelphia Phillies at this point. I do disagree. Now,

00:40granted, if you're betting the Phillies, would you like that

00:42price point lower? Yes, you would but the plus 128, I don't

00:45think it's viable for me tonight from an Atlanta Braves

00:47perspective. If we're looking from a pitcher to pitcher match

00:50up, the Phillies do have the better pitcher on the mound

00:52tonight. Charlie Morton, just your average pitcher, aging

00:54veteran here, looking to eat up innings. He struggled all

00:57season long with right-handed batters. You get a plethora of

01:00them tonight from the Philadelphia Phillies and also

01:03from an embarrassing performance yesterday. You know,

01:05the Phillies will be locked in and Christopher Sanchez has

01:07been a decent pitcher over the last 60 days. His ERA band is a

01:10little bit high but it's X numbers coming in certainly

01:13manageable around. Let me just see that 3.46. So, that works

01:17out in his favor. I do think the Phillies are the better team

01:19tonight and yes, it is hard to take a team fresh off of

01:22getting waxed by the Astros but you have to remind yourselves

01:25they did win that series and also, you take a look at

01:27Atlanta Braves team on the road had a great series against

01:30the Minnesota Twins. This is playoff atmosphere. This is

01:32playoff baseball. If you look at the one through nine, the

01:35Phillies have it better. The starting pitcher, the Phillies

01:37are better. As an overall team, they're better and they're home

01:40tonight. They should be able to win this game. So, yesterday

01:43would have been great if the Phillies won ten to nothing but

01:44they didn't. I think they bounced back in a big way

01:47tonight and secure a victory in game number one of this four

01:49game set against the Atlanta Braves.
