On the Regular Season schedule, the Braves visit Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for a 6:40 PM EDT start that you can catch on ESPN Unlmtd, MLB.TV, and BravesVision. It’s not just two teams throwing arms at each other; it’s Chris Sale (LHP, #51) squaring up against Cristopher Sanchez (LHP, #51... wait, no, #61), two left-handers who are statistically nicer to look at than most of their teammates because their bullpens are basically on maternity leave.
The Braves bring a 3.58 ERA and a .249 batting average to the party, which is a slim advantage over the Phillies’ 3.99 ERA and .243 hitting clip, but let’s be real: with Reynaldo Lopez on the 15-Day IL and Robert Suarez on the 60-Day IL, Atlanta’s relief corps is currently operating on hope and desperation. Sanchez’s 2.52 ERA screams stability, so while Sale’s 2.06 mark is elite, don’t sleep on the fact that the Phillies are holding their line at home while your favorite reliever is waiting out a rotation of rehab assignments. Drop your pick below and let the debate on StreakChat heat up faster than this double-play drift.
