Philadelphia at Atlanta

The Atlanta Braves send J. Sosa to the mound today and given his success against the Phillies as he sports a 3-0 record as he has given up just 5 runs in 16 innings against the Phils. Given that the Phillies are struggling on offense, this is the last pitcher they'd like to see on the mound considering that the comes off a rare shelling in San Francisco on the west road trip that the Braves recently took. Philly is in a rebuilding year, having started out the year at 1-6. Corey Lidle has had fair success against the Braves yet, I beleive this game is situational in that the Braves look for a home win where they are dominant as they are 7-0 as favorites while the Phillies are just 1-6 of late. Let's ride the hot home team and annual division champions for more than decade consecutively, in the Atlanta Braves.
