Philadelphia vs Atlanta Score Prediction

Realmuto (his 19th) and Johan Rojas (his second).

Atlanta Braves Analysis
- Atlanta suffered their fourth straight loss as they were victimized by the power game of the Phillies in the opening game of this set
- The Braves own a 3.5-game lead over the Dodgers for the top record in the National League
- Bryce Elder is on the bump for the Braves and is 12-4 with a 3.50 ERA, 1.219 WHIP, 54 walks, and 126 strikeouts over 167.1 innings of work

- Philadelphia went 2-1 in their last 3 matchups against Atlanta
Braves Attempt to Remain Healthy in Face of Phillies and High-Powered Ace Nola
The Braves are in no danger of dropping lower than second in the National League, providing an opportunity for Brian Snitker to give key personnel some rest in preparation for the postseason. With several players currently on the injured list, they will need to find a way to get up to speed prior to the playoffs. Meanwhile, the Phillies are currently holding the top Wild Card spot, and with their ace pitcher, Nola, having a good track record against the Braves, they have the edge in the upcoming matchup. Despite the Braves wanting to remain healthy for their push into the playoffs, the Phillies appear to have the stronger chance of winning this game.
