Atlanta comes into this matchup four games behind the Mets in the NL East, but four games up on the Phillies. Atlanta has a slightly better team ERA than Philadelphia, but Philly has scored one more run on the season. Ranger Suarez has allowed 11 runs in his last five starts, while Kyle Wright has allowed nine runs in his last two starts against the Cubs and Giants. I like the Phillies in this game, even without Bryce Harper.
