ROGERS' MLB FREE SELECTION
(MLB) Philadelphia vs. Atlanta,
Money Line: -109.00 Philadelphia (Away)
Result: Win
Can the Braves really lose four in a row? Acuna could be out, and he has been dynamite against today's starter for the Phillies. Atlanta's starter, recent IL returnee Wright, certainly struggled in his first appearance, lasting just 3 innings and giving up 6 runs. Phillies starter Wheeler has been effective lately except vs the Braves in his last start. He is a money pitcher and the Phillies need this win, so I am banking on a better effort from him today. The offenses are ranked 2nd and 6th in the last week, but the Braves pitching , especially it's bullpen, has been dreadful of late. I am excited to report that the Phillies actually have an effective relief corps this year and they have pitched well of late. Look for a big game from Phillies' ace and bats as the Braves lose a meaningless (to them) game today.
