Opening Day betting preview: Braves visit Phillies in NL East clash Henry Monness
Kevin Jairaj-USA TODAY Sports
The first of two NL East Opening Day matchups features the defending division champion Atlanta Braves travelling north to play the Philadelphia Phillies.
Vegas sees this game as a coin-flip, with both teams an even -110 on the moneyline and +165 on the run line (-1.5).
The total is set at seven, foreshadowing a low-scoring pitcher’s duel between two divisional foes.
Tale of the Tape
A pair of 27-year-olds will take the mound, as Braves lefty Max Fried will start in lieu of the injured Mike Soroka, while Phillies right-hander Aaron Nola will get the nod from Joe Girardi.
