Who will win Phillies vs Braves today: Braves run line -1.5 (+144)
The Atlanta Braves swept three from the Philadelphia Phillies on the road last week. Atlanta has covered the run line in each of their last seven wins. The Braves’ run differential is seven better than the Dodgers. Their run line record is 17-9, just one worse than their straight-up mark.
The Phillies could finish Friday with their first double-digit losing streak of the 21st century. Their run differential is 16 runs worse than the team directly ahead of them, and their record is tied for worst in MLB.
Philly has covered just four games all season and none against the NL East.
COVERS INTEL: Michael Harris has an RBI in five straight games and is hitting .565 with four homers over the last seven. He’s expected to play after leaving with quad tightness Thursday. 
Phillies vs Braves Over/Under pick: Over 9.5 (-101)
The Braves saw rookie Andrew Painter five days ago, when Philly got a look at Grant Holmes. The familiarity should lead to offense from two pitchers that combined to give up six runs in half of Sunday’s game.
The bullpens aren’t likely to shut things down like they did Sunday. Four Philadelphia relievers have thrown more than 20 pitches in the last three games, and three are over 30. The Braves have three relievers at 19 or more.
The Braves have had a game total of 10+ runs in three of the last four—and the fourth had a total of nine.
