The Philadelphia Phillies host the Atlanta Braves at Citizens Bank Park on Saturday evening in the second contest of their three game series.
The first game of the series ended in a comprehensive 9-0 victory for the Braves, largely thanks to a pair of home runs from Braves' third baseman Austin Riley and an excellent display from recently promoted veteran pitcher Martin Perez.
The Braves will be starting another southpaw pitcher in Game Two, as Chris Sale comes into the starting lineup. That could spell trouble for a Philadelphia lineup that has struggled massively against left-handers in the early stages of the season.
As for the Phillies, they will have young star Cristopher Sanchez at pitcher, as they look to break a worrying three game losing streak that has seen them drop to fourth place in the AL East.

Our Philadelphia Phillies vs Atlanta Braves Prediction
After a dismal display on Friday night, we expect the Phillies to be much improved with Cristopher Sanchez in their lineup.
That being said, we still think the Braves will have the edge over them and pick up another important victory.
A key reason for that prediction is Philadelphia's ongoing problems against left-handed pitchers. They struggled mightily against Martin Perez in Game One, and it is hard to see them faring much better against Chris Sale on Saturday night.
As such, our prediction for Philadelphia Phillies vs Atlanta Braves is: Braves to win.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
