Phillies vs Braves Parlay Pick No. 1: Phillies ML (+110)

The Phillies are rolling, and the Braves… are not. Philly enters at 7-3 with momentum on both sides of the ball, while Atlanta is a surprising 2-8 to start the year. That’s not a typo.

Taijuan Walker gets a cushy landing against a Braves lineup that ranks dead last in runs scored. The Phillies are getting production from top to bottom, and with the Braves pressing, getting plus money, even on the road, feels like a gift.

Phillies vs Braves Parlay Pick No. 2: Under 9 Total Runs (-110)

Even with Philly swinging it well, this doesn’t feel like a fireworks kind of game. The Braves can’t buy a first-inning run (1-for-10 on YRFI bets this season), and with cold bats and a spot starter on the mound, they’re unlikely to push the pace.

Walker might not dominate, but he’s a professional arm, and if Holmes can limit walks and hang in for four or five innings, we’re staring at a low-scoring grind. Both teams have strong bullpens to lean on late, too.

Phillies vs Braves Parlay Pick No. 3: Grant Holmes Over 4.5 Hits Allowed (-130)

Holmes has had limited experience as a starter in the majors, and while he’s shown promise, he’s also been hittable. In his starting appearances last season, he posted a 4.01 ERA over 33.2 innings, allowing a .273 batting average against him. Facing a potent Phillies lineup that's been producing consistently, it’s reasonable to expect Holmes to surrender at least five hits in this outing.
