10* UPPER-DECKER **MUST PLAY ALERT!**
(MLB) Philadelphia vs. Atlanta,
Money Line: -140.00 Atlanta (Home)
Result: Win
This is a 10* UPPER-DECKER on the Braves.

Philadelphia had a big lead early and it had to hold on for dear life in its 7-6 Game 1 victory. The extra time off did not work in Atlanta's favor.

But with that awkward game out of the way, I believe that ATL's overall depth and savvy poise will see them make an immediate return to the winner's circle.

The Phillies have looked pretty good so far in the playoffs, but the weakness of course is their bullpen.

These starters are very evenly matched. I could make a convincing argument for either Zach Wheeler or Kyle Wright here.

But the Phillies are now road weary and looking ahead to their first game in Philadelphia, which will be a big one.

There's an overreaction here by the public to jump on all of the underdogs after yesterday's results, but I say the value has now clearly swung the other way here.

The play is ATLANTA.

Good luck, NP
