Team Analysis
Atlanta Braves
Atlanta sits below .500 overall but has stayed competitive thanks to consistent run production, averaging 5.8 RPG over the last five outings. Despite a 2-3 mark in that stretch, the offense remains capable of stringing together big innings, especially with Ronald Acuna Jr. anchoring the lineup. Their road form has been tested all season, but recent scoring suggests they can overcome those splits when bats are engaged.
Matt Olson and Michael Harris II have provided reliable power and run creation, keeping the Braves from prolonged droughts. A 5-5 record across the last 10 games reflects balance rather than dominance, yet it shows resilience in avoiding extended losing streaks. With their scoring pace holding steady, Atlanta positions itself as a strong value play against a favored opponent.
- Batting Average: 0.244
- Total Runs Scored: 598
- Home Runs: 153
- OBP: 0.321
- SLG: 0.395
- OPS: 0.716
- ERA: 4.44
- WHIP: 1.31
Away Record: 28-41 • Home Record: 33-33
Last 5 Games: 2-3 (5.8 RPG)
Last 10 Games: 5-5 (5.4 RPG)
Philadelphia Phillies
Philadelphia has been strong overall with a 77-57 record, but their recent 2-3 mark in the last five reflects uneven execution. Kyle Schwarber continues to deliver elite power numbers, yet the team’s inability to convert that into consistent wins at home suggests vulnerability. The Phillies’ 44-22 home record looks imposing, but recent inconsistency makes them less reliable against a Braves lineup trending upward in scoring.
Trea Turner and Bryce Harper give the Phillies lineup balance, but the club’s last 10 games at 6-4 with 5.9 RPG show they are more steady than explosive. Their run production remains solid, yet the lack of recent dominance leaves the door open for Atlanta to capitalize. With the Braves matching their scoring output, the Phillies’ edge at home is less pronounced than the standings suggest.
- Batting Average: 0.258
- Total Runs Scored: 644
- Home Runs: 168
- OBP: 0.328
- SLG: 0.426

The Atlanta Braves at +121 check enough boxes to be the value side.

In their last five, the Philadelphia Phillies have produced 5.8 RPG and the Atlanta Braves 5.8. That output frames how this total sets up.
