MLB Division Series 2023: Braves vs. Phillies Update

Last Updated on October 10, 2023 3:33 pm by Erwin Noguera

Update:

We are continuing our focus on the Braves vs. Phillies series, so get ready for a quick breakdown of where we are so far:

The Atlanta Braves and the Philadelphia Phillies split the first two games of the National League Division Series in Atlanta. Now, the clash will resume in Philadelphia.

The Braves salvaged Game 2 dramatically, avoiding a nearly insurmountable 2-0 hole. On paper, the Braves would seem to have the pitching advantage in Game 3. That ignores how cold likely Game 3 starter Bryce Elder has been since the All-Star Game, however. 

This exciting series will continue on Wednesday, October 11, 2023, and we are all ready for it.

Why Bet on the Braves?

The Braves scored an exciting come-from-behind victory in Game 2, evening the series as it shifted to a new setting. 

After Atlanta’s prolific lineup was held scoreless through the first 14 innings of the NLDS, it erupted for five runs over the final three frames of Game 2. The Braves then turned a dramatic 8-5-3 double play to secure the win in the ninth.

Atlanta can only hope that Bryce Elder, who struggled throughout the second half, finds some of the magic that allowed him to make his first career All-Star Game. 

Why Bet on the Phillies?

The Phillies will counter with Aaron Nola, who will be making his second start of the postseason. He performed well against the Miami Marlins in the Wild Card Series with seven shutout innings.

In last year’s NLDS between these two clubs, Philadelphia won both contests at Citizens Bank Park to advance to the NL Championship Series.

For that reason, there is no panic from the Phillies, who boast a 24-11 postseason record at Citizens Bank Park. 

Final Betting Analysis: Braves vs. Phillies

It is going to be a tough challenge for the Atlanta Braves to go out and take the win at Citizens Bank Park, but they will still hunt to keep the momentum they achieved in the 2nd game.

Things are going to be quite exciting as we go into the next few matches, as we have at least 2 more games secured, but everyone will be on the edge of their seat to see which of the teams makes the step forward first.

Look for a win on the Phillies’ Moneyline in the Third game. For example, if you put $100 on the Phillies at -123, you’ll see a $81.30 success with a total payout of $181.30.
