Phillies vs Braves Prediction, Pick

Matt Olson Home Run

I don't know what the books are doing with their pricing for the Braves tonight, but I'm going to take advantage.

Aaron Nola isn't the same pitcher he used to be, as he's allowed a high 1.95 HR/9 to righties this season and a 1.87 HR/9 to lefties.

These odds are too high. I have the true odds for Matt Olson at around +400

Pick: Matt Olson Home Run

Another option against Nola is Ronald Acuna Jr.

The Phillies starter is a matchup that is well above average for power from both sides of the plate, and the Braves hitters are priced like they are facing an above-average pitcher.

I have the true odds for Acuna at around +500.

Pick: Ronald Acuna Jr. Home Run

Drake Baldwin Home Run

My last pick in this matchup is Drake Baldwin.

I get that Nola may pitch only four to five innings, but even with that in mind, these odds are too high.

I have the true odds for the Braves DH at around +550.

Pick: Drake Baldwin Home Run
