✅ The Braves have scored 104 runs in their first 21 outings in July while slashing a solid .254/.315/.448 across 721 at-bats. On the other side, the Phillies have accounted for just 74 runs over their previous 19 showings, hitting a mediocre .240/.286/.409 in 634 at-bats.
Atlanta Braves
The Braves have gone 2-2 since the All-Star break. They fell to 58-40 on the season following Monday’s defeat at Citizens Bank Park, and the Braves trailed the NL East-leading New York Mets by a couple of games.
Charlie Morton will take the hill Wednesday and meet the Phillies for the third time this season. He hasn’t been involved in the decision in their previous two encounters. The 38-year-old right-hander is 5-4 with a serviceable 4.20 ERA and 1.23 WHIP in 19 starts (105 innings pitched) this season. In his last seven appearances, Morton has registered a sturdy 2.22 ERA through 44.2 frames of work.
Philadelphia Phillies
The Phillies snapped their three-game skid last Monday, improving to 50-46 on the season. After a rough three-game home series against the Chicago Cubs, the Phillies outlasted the Braves thanks to a three-run eighth inning.
Philadelphia was half a game behind the final wild card in the National League on Tuesday. The Phillies are without Bryce Harper and Jean Segura, who should return from the IL in late August. JT Realmuto is 16-for-49 with three home runs in July, while Alec Bohm is slashing .429/.463/.633 across 49 at-bats this month.
