He pitched six innings without allowing any runs or home runs. His performance will be crucial as the Phillies aim to secure another victory.

On the other side, the Braves will rely on their bullpen, including Grant Holmes. Holmes has appeared in two games this season, with mixed results. He has a 7.20 ERA but showed promise in his recent outing against the Padres. The Braves hope their bullpen can hold off the Phillies’ offense at Truist Park.

Matt Olson is also working to boost his stats. His batting average is .229 with a home run and 5 RBIs. Ozzie Albies has a .200 average, contributing 1 home run and 5 RBIs. The Braves’ team batting average is .207, ranking 22nd. They have hit 7 home runs, placing them 13th. Their pitching has a 4.43 ERA, which ranks 20th.

Nick Castellanos is also performing well with a .314 average and 7 RBIs. Bryce Harper is contributing with a .275 average. He has scored 6 runs and has 3 RBIs. The Phillies’ team batting average is .266, ranking them 5th in the league. They have hit 11 home runs, placing them 10th. Taijuan Walker will start for the Phillies.

Final Betting Pick

The Phillies have a strong case for the MoneyLine at 113. Their current record of 7-3 shows they are performing well this season. Taijuan Walker’s recent game against the Rockies, where he allowed no runs over six innings, adds confidence to their pitching strength.

For the Over 8.5 prediction, both teams have shown they can score runs. The Phillies have a batting average of .266, ranking 5th, while the Braves’ pitching has a 4.43 ERA, ranking 20th. These factors suggest a higher-scoring game is likely.
