Tim Finnegan

Same Game Parlay (SGP): 3 Picks: ATL Braves @ PHI Phillies

Bryce Harper 1+ Total Bases

Ronald Acuna Jr 1+ Total Bases

Odds: +125

Garion Thorne

Bryson Stott Over 0.5 Stolen Bases (vs ATL Braves)

Odds: +310

Trea Turner Over 0.5 Stolen Bases (vs ATL Braves)

Odds: +310

Garion’s analysis: Strider isn’t exactly Noah Syndergaard when it comes to stolen bases allowed, yet the Cy Young candidate did surrender 19 steals when on the mound during the regular season — the 14th-most of any pitcher. If Game 1 was any indication, the Phillies are aware of this minor flaw. Philadelphia stole five bases on Saturday, with Stott and Brandon Marsh victimizing Strider. I think it’s safe to assume the Phillies will once again be aggressive, particularly if runs are at a premium.

Another thing to keep an eye on with these props is who ends up starting at catcher for the Braves. It was Sean Murphy behind the dish on the weekend, but Travis d’Arnaud has started Game 2 and Game 3. According to Baseball Savant’s Caught Stealing Above Average metric, Murphy is by far the better arm at backstop. He’s actually one of the best in baseball. Conversely, d’Arnaud is one of the worst, catching just 9% of base stealers in 2023 and showcasing an incredibly slow pop time.

Nick Friar

PHI Phillies +1.5 (vs ATL Braves)

Odds: -135
