The Atlanta Braves are tied with the Boston Red Sox at 85 for the most wins in baseball this season, but they currently have three fewer losses. All that damage has been done at home where they are a sparkling 51-20, but a completely different team on the road where they are an even .500. Philadelphia has played themselves out of contention, with a post All-Star game slump, but Cliff Lee continues to shine on the hill. Lee is five games over .500 at 11-6 for a team 12 games under .500, and he has not allowed more than 3 runs in six straight starts. The Phillies have been rock solid when opening a series of late where they have won five straight, and own a credible 6-2 mark when Lee takes the mound as a dog in his last eight in this role. Take the home dog.
