After securing a dramatic 5-3 victory in game one, the Atlanta Braves will be aiming to wrap up their wild card series against the Philadelphia Phillies when the teams meet in game two on Wednesday afternoon.
That narrow win for Atlanta was secured thanks to a three run homer from Austin Riley in the eighth inning. Prior to that, the Phillies had held a slight edge in a tense contest in which starting pitchers Chris Sale and Jesus Luzardo both excelled.
It looks set to be another closely fought game on Wednesday, as Cristopher Sánchez takes to the mound for Philly, while Tyler Mahle gets the start for the Braves.
Sánchez (18-7) has a superior record to Mahle (7-10) this season, but the Braves will have a vociferous crowd at Truist Park backing them, so they will be confident of getting the job done and progressing to the NL Divisional Series.

Our Atlanta Braves vs Philadelphia Phillies Prediction
This is an incredibly tight game to call; while Atlanta have home advantage and a superior bullpen, Cristopher Sánchez gives Philly a clear edge on the mound.
As such, we are steering clear of any moneyline tips and instead recommending you take the 2.12 on the game featuring at least eight runs.
Games featuring Atlanta and Philly usually feature plenty of runs. So while Sánchez and Tyler Mahle are both highly talented pitchers, we expect the two teams to have enough offensive firepower to make this a high-scoring contest.
Our prediction for Atlanta Braves vs Philadelphia Phillies is: Over 7.5 runs.
