Braves Starting Pitcher: Charlie Morton
This is what Alex Anthopoulos went out and signed Charlie Morton, to pitch in playoff-type games like this.
The 37-year-old veteran has been great all year with a 3.53 ERA and 203 strikeouts with a WHIP of 1.07.
He’s 2-2 against the Phillies this season and his lines in those games look like this:
- April 3: 5 IP, 6 H, 2 BB, 3 ER, 5 K (L)
- April 9: 6 IP, 4 H, 1 BB, 1 ER, 7 K (W)
- May 7: 0.2 IP, 4 H, 2 BB, 6 R (0 ER), 1 K (L)
- July 22: 6 IP, 4 H, 4 BB, 2 ER, 8 K (W)
Jean Segura has faced him the most and is 14-54 (.259) with 2 home runs and just 6 strikeouts. Bryce Harper is 7-17 with a home run and J.T. Realmuto is 7-18 off Morton.
Didi Gregorius is 8-30 and Andrew McCutchen is just 1-11.

Braves vs. Phillies Prediction Today
I know the Braves are favored playing at home with Morton on the mounds, but I actually like the Phillies in this matchup because Zach Wheeler dominates the Braves — they’re 3-1 in the three starts he’s had against Atlanta this year.
And the Phillies’ best hitters have really good numbers against Morton.
