Atlanta at Philadelphia 1:35 ET
Braves over Phillies- It is said that baseball is a game of streaks and the Atlanta Braves are the epitome of that axiom. The Braves had lost five straight and then won five straight and are now in the mist of a five game losing streak once again. Well, if the numbers remain consistent they should win here just as a matter of balance. Atlanta will start Mike Foltynewicz (0-2, 4.26 ERA) including a loss in his last outing where he allowed just two runs on five hits in seven innings (not a bad performance) and he is 2-1 lifetime against the Phillies. Zach Eflin (0-0) was called up from the minors and gets the nod because of an injury to Clay Buchholz. Although the Braves are 1-7 in their last eight road games they are 7-2 over the Phillies in their last nine meetings. Take ATLANTA!
