The Phillies kept the Braves' score down, despite letting them on base. In the regular season, Atlanta had one of the lowest totals of men left on base, but yesterday they stranded 19.

Pitching in this one will be Zack Wheeler for the Phillies and Kyle Wright for the Braves.
Zack Wheeler pitched in Game 1 of the Wild Card Round against the St. Louis Cardinals; Wheeler pitched 6.3 shutout innings. He has now pitched fifteen consecutive innings without allowing a run.
Kyle Wright was fantastic in the regular season and had a 2.84 ERA against Philadelphia in three starts. Wright has had problems pitching in the playoffs in the past, most notably allowing seven runs in less than an inning against the Dodgers in the 2020 NLCS. However, he looks like a completely different pitcher this year.

Atlanta Braves vs Philadelphia Phillies Prediction
The Braves are not going to go to Citizens Bank Park trailing 0-2. Their offense will get the job done today, pick up the win, and go win the next two in Philadelphia. Given the depth and talent on this team, they're not going down this early in the playoffs. Bettors can count on that.
