Philadelphia at Atlanta

Roy Hallady battled injuries early last season, but came on to be the pitcher everyone knows he is, with the Phillies winning 10 of his last 14 starts. He had some sickness issues in spring training, but he is a gamer, and will likely deliver a gem here. Atlanta turns to Paul Maholm, but the Braves closed out last season at just 3-5 in his last eight starts, and it is hard to say what they will get out of him here today. I think what is safe to say is that Halladay is a lot more reliable here, and valued as a dog. THe Phillies are an amazing 41-10 in their last 51 road games vs. a team with a home winning percentage of greater than .600, and Atlanta will be that type of team. Take Philadelphia.
