Grant Holmes (RHP #66) rolls into Citizens Bank Park with a tidy 2.70 ERA and the swagger of a man who knows his fastball can still melt a Philly fan’s hot dog. Across the rubber, Andrew Painter (RHP #24) sports a 3.77 ERA that’s looking for a little divine intervention against a Phillies staff that’s been coughing up a 4.88 ERA all spring. Atlanta’s .278 batting average will grin at the Phils’ .224, but the Braves can’t ignore a day‑to‑day Raisel Iglesias and a 10‑day IL Sean Murphy lurking on the dugout bench.
With the game kicking off at 7:20 PM on Peacock, expect the Braves’ offense to try to make up for the Phillies’ mediocre 73 runs in 20 games, while both starters try not to add to their WHIPs—Holmes at a crisp 1.07 versus Painter’s 1.41. Bring your pick and join the lively debate on StreakChat.
