Atlanta Braves DFS SPIN
Matt Olson launched his league-leading 51st home run of the season Tuesday as the Braves defeated the Phillies in an exciting extra-inning affair in Philadelphia. Olson connected on an offering from Phillies starter Zack Wheeler and smacked it 367 feet over the left-center field wall. He is now tied with Andruw Jones for the Braves franchise record. The 29-year-old is hitting .281/.388/.619 with 128 RBI on the season and isn’t even in the discussion for NL MVP. That goes to show you just what type of season teammate Ronald Acuña Jr. is having.
Philadelphia Phillies DFS SPIN
Trea Turner went 3-for-5 with two RBI in a devastating extra-inning loss to the Braves Tuesday night. Turner played the role of game-saver Tuesday night when he launched a game-tying solo homer off Braves closer, Raisel Iglesias. Sadly for Phillies fans, Atlanta’s relentless offense scored in the top of the tenth inning, and they lost the game by a score of 7-6. The speedy 30-year-old also swiped his 27th bag of the season, and he has a good chance of going 30-30 for the first time in his career. Turner’s second half has been something to behold, and he is surely positioned himself to go in the top half of drafts next season with his performance this summer.

Braves vs. Phillies MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Give me the under. I realize there’s a ton of firepower on both sides tonight, but Spencer owns an incredible 38.5% strikeout percentage against the current Philadelphia roster, as well as a .235 wOBA and a batting average against of .175. The expected batting average for the Phillies against Strider is just .203 and their expected slug is a paltry .349. If Sanchez can keep the Braves’ roster somewhat in check, then the under should cash tonight in Philadelphia.
MLB BETTING PREDICTION: BRAVES/PHILLIES UNDER 8.5
