Atlanta at Philadelphia

Chris Sale will make his first start for Atlanta since mid-June, when he suffered a broken rib. He's had three rehab outings in Triple-A and gave up a run in 4 2/3 innings in his latest one. Meanwhile, Christopher Sanchez comes off one of his worst performances of the season, allowing six runs on eight hits in 5 1/3 innings as the Phillies lost 13-3 to the Mets on Monday. Sanchez has given up 12 runs (10 earned) in his past 17 2/3 innings. Atlanta has won seven of nine road games and 13 of 19 overall as it plays the spoiler role. The Braves have been decimated by injuries this season, particularly in their starting rotation, but they are looking to build momentum for next season as they begin to recover. Take the Braves.
