<p>It hasn’t been the best of months for neither Wheeler nor Morton, both of whom are coming into this matchup after losing last time out. </p>
<p>In his most recent start, Wheeler allowed four runs and six hits, including two homers, in six innings in a 6-3 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday. </p>
<p>It was his third loss in four starts this month, and he has given up four or more runs in each loss. </p>
<p>Last season, Wheeler gave up four or more runs six times in 26 regular season starts. But he has already done that five times in ten starts this season, including three times in four road starts.</p>
<p>Morton, meanwhile, allowed six runs and seven hits, including two homers, in five innings in a loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday. It was his second loss in four starts this month, and it was the first time he has given up multiple homers in a game this season. </p>
<p>While Morton has lost twice this month and was roughed up a bit on Monday, this season has thus far been an improvement upon last season. </p>
<p>Last season, he allowed four or more runs 14 times in 31 starts and finished with a 4.34 ERA. This season, he has done so just twice in his first ten starts.</p>
<p>The Braves are only 13-12 (.520) as a home favorite this season, which ranks 21st in the league. But the Phillies are just 4-12 (.250) as a road favorite, which is 29th in the league. Only the awful Athletics (5-21, .192) have been worse as a road underdog.</p>
<h2 id="9779f">Philadelphia Phillies vs Atlanta Braves Prediction and Best Bets</h2>
<p><strong>Prediction for Phillies vs Braves:</strong> Braves to win</p>
<p><strong>Best Bets for Phillies vs Braves:</strong> Braves ML &amp; Braves team total over 4.5 runs</p>
<p>Last night’s loss was just the fourth in 15 games against NL East opposition this season. Look for them to bounce back today with a win over Wheeler and the Phillies.</p>
<p>Also, the percentages favor another productive game at the plate for Atlanta after being held to just four runs last night despite their 11-7 advantage in hits.</p>
<p>When they have scored four or fewer runs this season, they have scored five or more runs in the following game 14 times in 23 instances (60.9%), and they have scored five or more runs in six of the nine games Morton has started this season, including three times in his four home starts.</p>
