It all comes down to this! The Atlanta Braves host the Philadelphia Phillies in a winner-take-all Game 3 National League Wild Card duel. The baseball world will be watching, and here are three bets that you should consider!
MORE: Braves make stunning pitching announcement with season on the line
Bryce Harper over 1.5 hits + runs+ RBIs (-111 at DraftKings)
Bryce Harper has had some clutch moments in his MLB postseason career, including tying Game 2 with a massive home run. The Phillies will need him to dive deep into that clutch gene if they want to beat the Braves. He has produced more than 1.5 total hits + runs + RBIs in two of his last three games.
Harper has faced the Braves starting pitcher Ray Kerr twice this season and hit a double off him. The Phillies star player will be amped up for this critical Game 3.
Ronald Acuña Jr. over 1.5 total bases (+116 at DraftKings)
Ronald Acuña Jr. has been held in check so far this series, so he’s due for a breakout game. The Braves star player will be extra juiced by the home crowd and be ready to have a big-time game for Atlanta.
Acuña Jr. has a career .500 batting average against Aaron Nola in six plate appearances. He was 2-for-3 in his last playoff matchup against the righty, including a double. Acuna has tallied 20 dingers and 39 extra-base hits this season.
MORE: Kyle Schwarber chasing MLB playoff history
Kyle Schwarber over 0.5 home runs (+287 at DraftKings)
All eyes will be on Kyle Schwarber when he comes up second in Game 3. He loves hitting early in the lineup and has five leadoff home runs in the playoffs, and that’s a current MLB record. He homered in Game 2 and hit 45 dingers this season. Schwarber is a threat anytime he’s at the dish, and tonight will be no different.
Schwarber is responsible for 24 playoff home runs and always seems to do it in big moments. There’s no bigger game than when your season is on the line, and that’s what the Phillies DH faces tonight.
