<h2>Wednesday's Pitching Match-Up </h2>
<p>Lefty <a class="advblue" href="https://www.sportsbettingstats.com/mlb/pitcherlog/256063" title="Jose Suarez Pitching Game Logs">Suarez</a>, by our tough standards, is 4/14 on quality starts this season and two for his last four. Last Thursday he held San Diego to two runs and seven hits through 7 1/3 innings of a 6-2 Philadelphia victory. And over his last four starts he’s allowed 11 runs - nine earned - and 23 hits through 24 1/3 innings.</p>
<p>The Phillies are 9-5 with Suarez this season, 3-1 his last four times out.</p>
<p>In his one start this season against Atlanta, one month ago, Suarez got touched for five runs on six hits and four walks through 4 1/3 innings of an 8-4 Philly defeat.</p>
<p><a class="advblue "href="https://www.sportsbettingstats.com/mlb/pitcherlog/234654" title="Kyle Wright Pitching Game Stats">Wright</a> is 8/14 on quality starts this year but 0 for his last two. Last Thursday he gave up four runs and 10 hits through 5 1/3 innings against San Francisco, although the Braves won that game 7-6. And just before that he gave up five runs and 11 hits through six frames of a 6-3 Atlanta loss to the Cubs.</p>
<p>The Braves are 9-5 with Wright this season and 4-1 his last five times out.</p>
<p>In his one start this season against Philadelphia, one month ago, Wright allowed three runs and three hits through 6 2/3 innings of a 4-1 Atlanta loss.</p>
<h2>Splits With the Sticks</h2>
<p>The Braves are batting .262 against left-handed pitching this season, with a .337 team OBP and a ML-best .472 team slugging percentage. Numbers like those lead us to rank this line-up among the top half-dozen in Baseball in this split. Atlanta is operating without one key stick in Ronald Acuna, who’s dealing with a bad wheel, but they haven’t seemed to miss him too much.</p>
<p>Philadelphia is slashing .244/.308/.404 against right-handed pitching. This line-up is also operating without reigning NL MVP Harper, who’s gone with a broken thumb.</p>
<h2>The Bullpens </h2>
<p>The Phillies bullpen owns a 4.12 ERA this season, along with a 1.37 WHIP. Numbers like those lead us to rank this unit among the bottom half-dozen or so bullpens in Baseball.</p>
<p>The Atlanta pen owns a 3.08 ERA and a 1.16 WHIP. Numbers like those lead us to rank this unit among the top six or seven bullpens in Baseball. However, the Braves are now operating without closer Jansen, who was placed on the DL Tuesday with a heart situation.<br />
