Phillies vs. Braves Best MLB Prop Bets
Braves Best MLB Prop Bet
- Chris Sale OVER 7.5 Strikeouts (+107)
I broke down this pick in SI Betting’s daily MLB best bets column, Walk-Off Wagers:
Chris Sale racked up seven strikeouts in six innings in Philadelphia last week, and I think he can do at least one better tonight at home.
The southpaw is up to 184 strikeouts in 150 innings this season, and has 31 strikeouts in his last three home starts. He also had nine strikeouts in his lone home start against the Phillies this season.
Phillies vs. Braves Prediction and Pick
This has all the makings of a pitcher’s duel tonight in Atlanta. Nola has been stellar in the second half, and Sale is aging like fine wine.
There were seven runs or fewer in three of the four games last weekend, with a late comeback by the Braves pushing the other contest to nine runs.
Pick: UNDER 7 (-102)
