The Philadelphia Phillies will look to complete the four-game sweep over the Atlanta Braves on Sunday Night Baseball.
While Atlanta hasn’t had an answer for Philly yet, my Braves vs. Phillies predictions and MLB picks are headlined by star Ronald Acuna Jr. on Sunday, August 31.

Braves vs Phillies best bet: Ronald Acuna Jr. Over 1.5 hits+runs+RBI (-115)
Braves vs Phillies best bet analysis
Atlanta Braves star Ronald Acuna Jr. has teed off on left-handed pitchers with a high-end .374 wOBA and .850 OPS this season, and he’ll face reeling Philadelphia Phillies southpaw Jesus Luzardo tonight.
Luzardo sports a 4.53 ERA across his past 10 starts and allowed three or more runs six times. Additionally, he hasn’t been nearly as tough on right-handed hitters while serving up a .274 batting average and .336 wOBA.
Returning to Acuna, he’s gone 4-for-11 with an .897 OPS against Luzardo during his career.
Braves vs Phillies same-game parlay analysis
Even with Luzardo’s highlighted struggles, I like Philly to come out on top tonight. The Phillies have won 45 of their past 67 home games (+12.00 Units / 10% ROI), and they’ll face inexperienced Atlanta righty Hurston Waldrep.
Philadelphia ranks sixth in wOBA against right-handed pitchers, and this will be just the seventh start of Waldrep’s career.
I’m anticipating the Phillies doing the heavy lifting for the Over, while the Braves chip in with a few runs of their own.
