The Philadelphia Phillies haven’t been a series underdog much in 2024.
That’s the case for the weekend series against the Atlanta Braves, which is strangely enough the first visit to Georgia this season for the Phils.
On pure record alone, the Phillies should be favored in the series, but if you look deeper into the pitching matchups, you can at least understand why the Phils are +120 to win the series on DraftKings while Atlanta is favored at -140.
Friday’s opener has the best pitching matchup of the series with Aaron Nola going up against Max Fried.
