Philadelphia at Atlanta

The Atlanta Braves and the Philadelphia Phillies both have a lot of work to do after humbling seasons in 2017. The Phillies will wheel out Aaron Nola, who has yet to live up to the billing in a Phillies uniform at 28-32 over his brief career. Opponents have managed 4.58 runs per game in his road starts making it tough for the light-hitting Phillies to find the win column. Braves' starter Juloi Teheran has won 57 games over a three year period, but has had a pair of tough seasons. Teheran is the more proven commodity at this point, and his last two outings last year both resulted in wins where the Phillies managed just two runs in each. Take the Braves.
