The Braves’ two-time winners dreams are about to colapse after their second loss in the series on Friday afternoon.
In this game, Atlanta’s pitching was once again punished by Philadelphia’s powerful offense. The rookie, Spencer Strider, was also unable to perform his assigned duties as starter, allowing five clean runs in 2.1 acts.
Previously, the rotation’s ace, Max Fried, was punished in the first game by conceding eight hits and four runs in just three and a third innings on the mound.
Atlanta’s offense has not been at its best either. Although in the first game they were too slow to try to come from behind, the second game ended in victory and they only managed three runs on four hits. In the third game they scored a run and went 9-1 with runners in scoring position .
Manager Brian Snitker announced that the experienced Charlie Morton was goint to be his starter, to try to resurge. The right-hander was not at all good as a visitor giving up 5.72 EFE in 83.1 innings and, this year, against the Phillies, he was punished with 16 cleanup runs and five home runs in 21.2 acts for a 5.47 ERA.
Starting pitcher: Charlie Morton (9-6, 4.34 ERA).
Injured: No injuries reported
Betting on the Philadelphia Phillies

- Regular round vs Braves: 8-11
- LN Division Series: 2-1.
- Runline: (+1.5, -154).
- Moneyline: (+105).
- Over/Under: 9.
The Phillies were only one step away from a historic qualification after they put the mighty Braves in a difficult situation with a series of slugfests.
The bad feeling of Game 2 got left behind when they were blanked by Atlanta’s pitching for the second time in the series, Philadelphia’s offense responded as expected by scoring nine runs and 17 runs in their two wins.
The home team ambushed Spencer Strider with six runs in the third inning, five of them scored by the right-hander who had dominated them in the regular round. In that inning, Rhys Hoskins and Bryce Harper went out.
For their part, Philadelphia’s pitching got the job done again as in Game 2, despite the loss. They allowed only three runs. On this occasion, Aaron Nola was in charge of shutting down the Braves’ offense with six shutout innings in which he allowed five hits and struck out six.
Manager Rob Thomson will send the experienced Noah Syndergaard to the mound, who arrived mid-season to reinforce the rotation. The right-hander did not face the Braves in the regular round, and already pitched a blank during Game 2 of the series, the only inning he worked since last October 1.
Starting pitcher: Noah Syndergaard (10-10, 3.94 ERA).
Injured: No injuries reported
JefeBet Prediction
If the Braves want to stay alive, and the Phillies want to end the series once and for all, both will have to do it with a bang, because this Saturday’s pitching duel does not exactly promise a pitching duel.
Morton has postseason experience but this year the Phillies, and the road, were not his friends. Meanwhile, Syndergaard, finished the regular round with a 4.55 ERA in his last 29.2 game. Likewise, in the last five games between the two teams, the Over is 4-1, while in the last eight games in Philadelphia, Alta has a 6-1-1 record.
Prediction: Over (ATL 6 – PHI 4).
