Best Bet of the Day

MLB: Under 9.5 in Philadelphia Phillies vs Atlanta Braves (-105)
12:20 pm ET, MLB Network

Aaron Nola and Bryce Elder faced off in June and the result was a scoreless 9 innings that had to be settled in extras. We should see a strong performance out of both starters in this one, and there might even be a key bat or two missing in the lineups. Both bullpens are solid and dependable in a close game, so the under looks good. Read our full Phillies vs Braves predictions.

You can bet on this Phillies vs Braves pick over at Caesars, which has a great sign-up offer where you can secure a $1,000 first bet on Caesars! Click here to sign up for Caesars right now.
