MLB Baseball Betting – Atlanta Braves At Philadelphia Phillies
After correctly calling Wednesday night’s sports betting matchup between the Atlanta Braves, (19-19, 23-15 RL) and Philadelphia Phillies, (22-18, 16-24 RL) in the Top Sportsbooks Locker Room, I am back with one more winning wager in this series finale between these two long-time NL East online betting rivals.
Despite having the worst road record in all of baseball at the moment, (6-15) the Braves have won two of their last three road contests and will be looking for another tonight when they face Phillies all-star starter Cole Hamels (4-3, 3.36), who has won each of his last two starts.

Hamels was solid, not overpowering in his last start, allowing four earned runs on six hits in seven innings in Friday’s 7-4 victory over the San Francisco Giants.
The Phillies, who got home runs from Chase Utley and Ryan Howard on Wednesday despite losing 8-6, will try to pound Braves starter Chuck James (2-2, 7.58 ERA) who was recalled from Triple-A Richmond nearly a month ago to replace the injured Mike Hampton.

“To be successful here, I have to hit my spots and put the ball on the corners,” said James who is 2-0 with a 3.58 ERA in six career starts against Philadelphia.
Here is a look at tonight’s key trends followed by my MLB Betting Picks.
The Braves are 6-0 in their last 6 games vs. a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15.
The Braves are 5-0 in James’ last 5 starts vs. National League East.
The Phillies are 7-0 in Hamels’ last 7 starts during game 3 of a series.
The Phillies are 6-0 in Hamels’ last 6 starts as a home favorite of -151 to -200.
The Under is 4-1 in James’ last 5 starts as a road underdog.
The Over is 5-0 in Hamels’ last 5 starts overall.
The Braves are 4-1 in James’ last 5 starts vs. Phillies.
Analysis: While Atlanta starter Chuck James is perfect in his career against Philadelphia, the Phillies are the correct pick for tonight’s matchup with their best pitcher taking the mound in Cole Hamels. Take the Phillies to win.
