MLB predictions, picks, and odds for Philadelphia Phillies at Atlanta Braves on October 9. MLB Division Series 2023 free pick and best bets.
With some glaring similarities to last year's NLDS, the Phillies snagged Game 1 against the Braves and can put some serious pressure on them with Zack Wheeler taking the mound for Game 2. Read our MLB betting preview for the full breakdown.The Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies are gearing up for Game 2 of the NLDS in Georgia.
The long ball can change things, but the reasonable expectation for this game should be a low-scoring one. Two exceptional pitchers taking the mound in the postseason yields those results more often than not. With that being the case, we're not asking for many runs from Philly against Braves starterFried has faced the Phillies once this season. It was a good performance, allowing just one earned run and striking out six batters in five innings, which is pretty standard for Fried.
You can dig into the analytics if you'd like. They'll say this Braves offense is historically good and Zach Wheeler is an outstanding pitcher. They'll also say Fried has one of the best ground ball rates in the majors, but you'll see the Phillies hit ground balls at the seventh-lowest clip in the majors, making the task of inducing them much harder.
This analysis is relatively simple. The Phillies have a solid pitching edge with a much more known commodity against a player who has been injured over the last two seasons. The Braves also have pressure on them... immense pressure. They didn't respond to it well last season, so it's tough to think much has changed, especially after how Game 1 played out.
