The Philadelphia Phillies were swept by the Chicago Cubs in a pivotal series at Citizens Bank Park and now welcome the Atlanta Braves for a three-game set. The Braves ran through the Los Angeles Angels in the first two games by a score of 15-3. The Angels got a game back in game three by a score of 3-1. The Philadelphia Phillies are eight games back from the Atlanta Braves in the National League East. This series becomes extremely pivotal for the Phillies, as they will try to close the gap.

This series is important enough for both sides, but the Phillies had a nice 45-game stretch that could mean nothing unless they get back into the win column soon. They lost 15-2 in the first game against the Cubs, a game where they were up a run before an error saw the fifth inning unravel. The Cubs own a bottom bullpen, but the Phillies were unable to take advantage. The Braves head into this series on a 14-6 run in their last 20.

BetMGM Sportsbook has the Atlanta Braves as big favorites of -185 on the money line after being steamed up. The Philadelphia Phillies are +150 on the comeback line. The money has already come in on the Braves, so Phillies might have more value currently. A $100 wager on the Phillies would net a $150 return.

The pitching matchup features ace Max Fried vs. Ranger Suarez. Fried is 10-3 with a 2.64 ERA spanning 119.1 innings. Fried has also allowed four fewer hits than strikeouts, which sit at 109. Through 19 starts, he has allowed more than three earned runs only twice, registering 14 quality starts on the season.

He will be countered by Suarez, who carries a 4.07 ERA coupled with a 7-5 record. Suarez has been up and down on the season, but he just went five complete innings of zero earned ball. He has allowed fewer than three earned in three of his last four starts.

The BetMGM risk-free bet can also be utilized on the total. BetMGM Sportsbook currently has the total sitting at 8.5, with the under providing a little heavier juice at -115. The over is -105. A $100 wager on the over would return a $95.24 profit. The total has gone over in six straight games for the Braves, while the under is 10-4 in the last 14 for the Phillies.
