Philadelphia at Atlanta

Chris Sale gets this Phillies lineup again tonight, a week after beating them in Philadelphia, and he's never been sharper late in a season than he is right now. Sale is sitting on a 2.10 ERA and a WHIP barely above 1.00, with 184 strikeouts on the year, and he's won back-to-back starts, including a complete-game shutout of the Dodgers. Aaron Nola takes the ball for Philadelphia at 6-10 with a 4.76 ERA and a 1.37 WHIP, more than double Sale's earned run average, and that gap says plenty about tonight's number. Atlanta has banked 86 wins already and still holds a four-game lead in the NL East, while Philadelphia is fighting to hang onto its wild card spot, which raises the stakes without changing how lopsided this particular pitching matchup is. This is about as clean a starter mismatch as this series will show all year. Take the Braves on the moneyline tonight.
