00:03Another pitcher's duel is expected a tight margin expected minus 108 on both sides as

00:10of this moment total has dropped down to seven and a half as well.

00:14It is a pick them currently on the FanDuel Sportsbook.

00:17So DRS tell us who wins this game in Atlanta.

00:20I mean honestly again it should be the Phillies Max Fried who's had a decent season but really

00:24not over the past month month and a half that ERA approaching five and a half but you're

00:28looking at that Philadelphia Phillies lineup and saying what gives but let's just start

00:32with Aaron Nola on the mound.

00:33He's a decent pitcher.

00:34We know that a one-two punch that if the Phillies get to the playoffs, which we're anticipating

00:38along with Zach Wheeler, one of the best in baseball.

00:41He does struggle a bit with left-handed batters, but that's not even what the focus I want

00:44here remove Marcello Zuna and Matt Olsen's name from that Braves lineup.

00:49It's Michael Harris, Ramon Laureano, Sean Murphy, Jared Kelenic, Orlando Garcia, Gio

00:54Urshela and Whit Merrifield.

00:56It's basically a cast off of characters from other baseball teams that just couldn't make

01:00it and they just converged on Atlanta because of all of the injuries.

01:03Now they won yesterday.

01:04They got a great pitching performance out of Lopez.

01:06Zach Wheeler was fine.

01:07But if you are the Phillies, if you can just put up four runs tonight, you should be able

01:12to win this game going away and you say, oh, that should be easier that way scored one

01:15last night and we're completely trash at the plate.

01:18But you have to stick with the statistics.

01:20To me, the better pitcher on the mound is Aaron Nola.

01:23The better lineup by a wide margin is the Philadelphia Phillies.

01:27And look at that price point.

01:28It is cheap.

01:29It was cheap yesterday.

01:30It's there for a reason.

01:31The Phillies understand I've been struggling, but you're just looking at the pitching matchup

01:35and the lineups per se.

01:36It should be a Phillies win.
