Atlanta Braves vs Philadelphia Phillies Prediction, Odds and Picks for Saturday, 08/30/25

It’s time for some Saturday baseball, and we’ve got your Atlanta Braves vs. Philadelphia Phillies prediction right here! The Phillies took the first two games out of this four-game series, and today, they’ll be looking to secure an early series win, but it won’t be easy. The Phillies are set to face Chris Sale, who enters this game with a 5-4 record and 2.52 ERA. Sale was dominant earlier in the season, but his last start goes all the way back to June 18th. Sale was on the 60-day IL due to a left ribcage fracture and looks to have fully recovered. 

For the Phillies, they’ll send Cristopher Sanchez to the mound, entering with a 11-5 record and 2.72 ERA. Sanchez has struggled in his last few starts, going 0-2 with a 5.60 ERA. Both teams have been hitting the ball well, with the Phillies averaging 6.3 runs per game in their last 14, where the Braves are just behind, averaging 5.7 in that same span. It’s hard to gauge how Sale will perform after having 2.5 months off, and the Phillies offense is surging right now. I think Sanchez can limit the damage done against this Braves team and the Phillies will score just enough against Sale to pick up the win in front of their home crowd.
