BRAVES vs PHILLIES PREDICTION
The public is backing the Braves but the Phillies are getting 44% of the Moneyline tickets but 82% of the money. Nola had a dominant season in 2020 and he will look to continue whereas Max Fried had a season-ending injury in Sept. and he will be looking to rebound. The Phillies have a strong offensive lineup and Bryce Harper historically has good opening days. Typically you see pitching duels early in the season as it takes time for the hitters to catch up which favors the Under. Take the Phillies to win this game.
