The Braves have taken the first two in this series and will send Javier Vasquez to the mound to go for the sweep. Vasquez is mostly an innings eater, that saw his American league central division winning White Sox team manage just a 12-16 mark in his 28 starts. He will not get the same kind of run support in Atlanta as he did in Chicago and that could make those numbers decline this year. Joe Blanton came over to bolster the Philly staff last season from Oakland and proceeded to lead the Phillies to an 8-4 mark in his 12 starts. He pitched extremely well at home, where the Phillies went 6-1 in his seven starts and I look for the Phillies to take game three.
