Phillies' No. 5 spot remains a mystery after Covey's disastrous start.

Phillies' starting pitcher Dylan Covey had one of the worst starts in National League history, allowing seven runs on six hits and two home runs, recording just two outs in the Phillies' 11-4 loss to the Braves on Sunday Night Baseball. The Phillies still have no good answer at the back of their rotation with Andrew Painter rehabbing an injured elbow and Bailey Falter needing to regain confidence at Triple A. The Phillies split the four-game series with the Braves and move on to the second leg of their 10-game NL East road trip with a 25-28 record.

"May 28th Phillies vs Braves: Odds, Picks, and Highlights"

The Philadelphia Phillies will face off against the Atlanta Braves in the final game of their four-game series. The Braves will send Spencer Strider to the mound, and our MLB betting picks expect a big game from the 24-year-old. Strider has an electric fastball that often leads to double-digit strikeout numbers, and he should have his way against a swing-happy Philadelphia team. The Phillies lack plate discipline and are second in baseball in chase rate, which plays into Strider's strengths. Our best bet is for Strider to record a win, and we also like a same-game parlay with Strider recording 10+ strikeouts, Austin Riley recording a hit, and the Braves leading after five innings.

The team optioned left-hander Bailey Falter to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday, leaving them with limited options. The Phillies' top prospect, Andrew Painter, is still recovering from an injured right elbow, while their No. 2 prospect, Mick Abel, has struggled with control.
