Atlanta Braves DFS Spin
Braves right fielder Jorge Soler recorded a hit in his team’s 3-0 loss to the Phillies on Saturday night. In that game, the 32-year-old right-handed hitter went 1 for 4 with a single. For the season, Soler is batting .232 with 17 homers, 52 RBIs, and a .755 OPS across 481 plate appearances. Jorge Soler is hitting .286 in 21 career at-bats against Phillies starter Aaron Nola. That means the Braves outfielder could have some DFS value on Sunday night.
Philadelphia Phillies DFS Spin
Phillies second baseman Edmundo Sosa had multiple hits and multiple RBIs in his club’s 3-0 win over the Braves on Saturday. Hitting out of the #8 spot in the lineup, Sosa went 2 for 2 with a double, a homer, 2 RBIs, a walk, and a run scored. Across 242 plate appearances this season, the Panama City, Panama native is batting .269 with 7 homers, 29 RBIs, 7 stolen bases, and a .768 OPS. Edmundo Sosa is hitting .284 during night games this season, making him an interesting DFS option for Sunday night’s contest.

Braves vs. Phillies Betting Prediction
The Braves have been good against the Phillies this year. Atlanta is 7-5 straight up against Philadelphia in 2024, and the Braves have only lost consecutive games to the Phillies one time this season. A few numbers bolster the case for Atlanta. The Braves are 66-59 straight up when playing an opponent on equal rest and 38-34 straight up as the road team this year. Furthermore, Atlanta is 62-52 straight up when playing on no rest and 6-3 straight up in the last 9 games started by right-handed pitcher Spencer Schwellenbach. Because these teams are fairly even, I like the Braves to win outright and earn a split of this four-game series on Sunday night. Atlanta on the money line is the pick.
