The Philadelphia Phillies seem back on track as their offense fought hard against the Atlanta Braves in Game 1. The Phils had a great game, but Alec Bohm was forced to exit after an unusual swing during the bottom of the first inning.
While it was not a great outing for Cristopher Sanchez, the offense had a great game.
The Braves started out well as they took a decent four-run lead. However, they squandered their lead as Brandon Marsh smashed a three-run homer, and Nick Castellanos secured the game with a two-run homer. Charlie Morton struck out seven hitters in their loss.
The Braves will try to turn things around as they send Reynaldo Lopez to the mound as their starter. Lopez is one of the top pitchers for the team, with a strong 2.02 ERA and a 7-4 record. The righty has helped the Braves win several crucial games this season.
The Phils will turn in their hard-throwing southpaw Ranger Saurez to the mound as their starter against Lopez.
Suarez has been a force for the starting rotation with his strong 2.82 ERA. He also has an 11-5 record for the team and is all set to get some early strikeouts in Game 1.

Phillies vs. Braves Prediction
The Braves underestimated their opponent's offense after securing a 4-0 lead in Game 1. The Phils are capable of fighting back even at the last minute. With just two swings for two top hitters, they changed the game for the Braves.
The Braves have a dominant pitcher on the mound, but their opponent has Suarez, who has been spectacular this season.
Suarez will need help from the plate. However, he has the experience and the skill to strike out his opponents. The odds are intact for the Phils to win this game and secure the series. The Braves are currently the underdog in Game 2.
Prediction: Philadelphia Phillies -1.5 (-135)
