Atlanta Braves vs Philadelphia Phillies Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 04/18/26

The Atlanta Braves face the Philadelphia Phillies on the FOX game of the week tonight. The Braves took the first game in a runaway, winning 9-0. They also have a huge early lead in the NL East, as they are the only team in the division over .500. More importantly, the Braves have the lowest team ERA in baseball at 2.78, which is absolutely shocking, given the number of starting pitchers they have on the IL. On Saturday, both teams send their lefty aces to the mound, as Chris Sale will face Cristopher Sanchez. This game has “under” written all over it. Give me the game total under 7.

Both Sale and Sanchez have made 4 starts, and 3 of them have been great. Each has one outlier where they got hit hard in a west coast game, but look for both to pitch well in this division rivalry spot. The Phillies have historically had little success against Sale, and literally every hitter in the lineup has more Ks than hits against him. A few of the Braves have found success against Sanchez, but the lefty is fully capable of limiting damage and locking up a hot Atlanta lineup. Look for a low-scoring game in this one.

Braves vs Phillies Prediction: Under 7 (-105) available at the time of publishing. Playable at that number.
