T.M. Selection: Atlanta Braves

I like the Atlanta Braves to win this game against the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday. Off a huge Game 1 loss to open up the series, the Braves will need to bounce back with a win here in Game 2. They have got to treat this like an elimination game, because if they don't they'll have to win both games in Philly to survive. Kyle Wright (21-5, 3.19 ERA) has been dominant this season for Atlanta. He hasn't lost a game since July, and his record is one of the best in the majors. The last time he faced this Phillies team, he went 7 innings while giving up just 1 earned run on 3 hits in a 4-1 win. On the other hand, the Phillies will have Zack Wheeler (12-7, 2.82 ERA) pitching for them. Wheeler has also been very reliable as of late, but I expect the Braves to crack him open here in this one. Expect the Braves fans to help them in this crucial Game 2.

T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Braves.
