Philadelphia Phillies vs. Atlanta Braves MLB Betting Odds & Picks (05/28/2023)

Last year the Philadelphia Phillies had a Cinderella run for the ages. Following a slow start that cost manager Joe Girardi his job, the Phillies were written off for dead. But the Phils responded to new manager Rob Thomson. Philadelphia rallied to make the World Series. Finally, the magical baseball betting odds run ended with a loss to the Houston Astros. So far this season, Philadelphia has fallen back. And that has confirmed the concerns of sharps that didn’t think the Phillies could sustain success. By contrast, as usual, the Atlanta Braves are in firm control in the National League East.
