This 2022 will be remembered in a very pleasant way by the Phillies, who returned to postseason play after not reaching this stage of the season since 2011, and managed to sweep the National League Central Division champion St. Louis Cardinals. The St. Louis Cardinals were able to reach this stage with the first game of that series seeing Philadelphia orchestrate a great comeback after scoring six runs in the last inning to win 6-3.
Their scheduled starter for this Game 1 will be Ranger Suárez, and while the pitcher capped the regular season with three consecutive quality starts (6.0 innings in each, two or fewer runs allowed), he was prone to ups and downs all year, so the Phillies will be hoping he shows his best in this important matchup as his arms recover after the Wild Card series.
Starting pitcher: Ranger Suárez (10-7, 3.65 ERA, 1.33 WHIP).
Injured: Corey Knebel (shoulder), Kent Emanuel (shoulder), Damon Jones (shoulder), Simon Muzziotti (patella), James McArthur (elbow).

The Atlanta Braves had a fierce battle with the New York Mets for the top spot in the National League East division throughout the season, and the team’s strong finish to the regular season, with seven wins in the last ten games, helped them finish in that first place that gave them direct access to this divisional series, while the Mets ended up going home after falling in the wildcard round.
Having Max Fried in this Game 1 could be a guarantee of success for the Braves, as the 28-year-old pitcher was their best starter on the season and had a 2.00 ERA during the month of September, throwing at least 5.0 innings in each of his five appearances and in none allowed more than two runs.
Starting Pitcher: Max Fried (14-7, 2.48 ERA, 1.01 WHIP).
Injured: Darren O’Day (foot), Manny Piña (wrist), Kirby Yates (elbow), Adam Duvall (wrist), Max Fried (illness – day-to-day), Luke Jackson (elbow), Ozzie Albies (finger), Chadwick Tromp (quadriceps), Huascar Ynoa (elbow), Spencer Strider (oblique).
JefeBet Prediction
Considering they are fresher and their positive record against their divisional rival in the regular season, the Braves appear to be the favorites to win this first game of the series as they look to continue their title defense as World Series champions.
Fried may be their best pitcher, but the Phillies have been able to crack his deliveries this season, scoring eight runs spread over a total of four games in which he was Atlanta’s starter, and even managed to win the most recent of them 0-1.
Despite that close score, three of those four Fried openings against Philadelphia ended with 9 or more runs, and with Ranger Suárez having allowed just one run in his last three appearances against Atlanta we are confident that the Phillies can use the momentum from their sweep of the wild card series to win this game.
Prediction: Philadelphia Phillies Moneyline (PHI 5 – ATL 3).
