The Phillies just can’t get out of their own way and while the talent is there, this is a rough week and it’s hard to back them with confidence. Painter is also an inexperienced pitcher who will make just his fourth career start. The Braves are rolling and looking more and more like a legit contender in the NL. On paper this should be a good series and the Phillies are due for a bounce-back performance. Still, I’m riding the hot hand. Give me the Braves.
