Pitching Matchup
Atlanta Braves – RHP Spencer Schwellenbach
Season record: 6–4, 3.21 ERA, 0.99 WHIP over 103.2 IP
Has ace-caliber flashes but can be inconsistent, with occasional struggle controlling hard-hit contact
Home ERA strong (~2.64), offering some edge in familiar park
Philadelphia Phillies – LHP Jesús Luzardo
Season record: 7–3, 4.08 ERA, 1.37 WHIP, 104 Ks in 90 IP
Features an effective arsenal (sweeper, slider, heater, changeup, sinker); K/9 of 10.36
Held the Braves in check previously (1 R, 6 Ks in 6 IP on April 10)
Summary: On paper, this is a balanced duel. Luzardo’s swing-and-miss ability contrasts with Schwellenbach’s home comfort—pitching match is a draw, offense likely decides victor.

Phillies vs. Braves MLB BETTING PREDICTION
There’s value in Philadelphia, given the recent meetings between these two teams. Not only did the Phillies hammer the Braves 13-0 last night, but they’ve now won three out of the previous four meetings. The pitching matchup might not favor Philly, but I love the value with the Phillies’ moneyline.
