Free MLB Pick
Atlanta starter Matt Wisler has a winning record on the road going 2-1 and his WHIP of 1.59 and earned run average of 4.37 indicate that he may be lucky to be on the plus side of things, the numbers are skewed by his career MLB road game against the Nationals when he gave up four runs on nine hits in four innings pitched. He has turned it around since then on the road with three strong outings (18 2/3 IP, 7 ER) including back to back Q starts. On the mound for the Phillies is another rookie Aaron Nola who has just two career starts. One of those starts for Nola came at home and he went a strong six innings allowing just one run. With the Braves lack of scoring and the pitching set up, we believe that the total is the strongest play on this game.
