Game Overview:
The Philadelphia Phillies saw their nine-game win streak snapped recently, but they remain one of the hottest teams in baseball. The Atlanta Braves, meanwhile, have lost four of their last five and look shaky both on the mound and at the plate. With Spencer Strider returning from injury, the edge shifts firmly to the Phillies in this key NL East clash.
Pro Picks AI Best Bet: Phillies Moneyline (-116)
Form matters—and right now, the Phillies have it. With a deep, consistent lineup and one of the best home records in the league, Philadelphia looks to capitalize against a Braves team that’s failed to find rhythm.
Spencer Strider, making just his third start of the season after injury, is still shaking off rust. Meanwhile, the Phillies are stacked with hitters who punish mistakes—especially in hitter-friendly Citizens Bank Park.
Top Player Prop: Bryce Harper Over 0.5 Home Runs (+300)
| Pro Picks AI Analyst
Bryce Harper enters tonight with modest power numbers in May (3 HR), but everything about this matchup screams upside:
- 6-for-20 career vs. Spencer Strider, with 2 HR
- Strider has given up a homer in each of his two starts since returning
- Harper is batting over .300 at home in 2025
- 4 of his 6 home runs this season have come at Citizens Bank Park
With Strider still building velocity and command, Harper’s lefty bat could make some serious noise tonight.
