PHI: Lidle (0-1, 5.40 ERA)
ATL: Sosa (0-1, 23.14 ERA)
The Phillies hope they get more respect from the Braves on Wednesday than they do from Vegas oddsmakers, who peg them as pups.
The Phillies sit at the bottom of the National League East standings with a lame 1-6 mark, but hand the ball to Cory Lidle to try to get another notch in the win column. Lidle brings a 0-1 record and a 5.4 ERA into this game.
Philadelphia takes its 1-6 mark to Atlanta to battle the 4-4 Braves today.
The Braves (4-4) opened as 130 favorites and they host a Phillies team that has won 1 of their 7 games this season. The total opened at 9.
Charlie Manuel's team was busy last game losing to the Braves 5-3 as underdogs. The 8 runs sent that game under the total of 9.
Atlanta pitchers are charitable with the baserunners, giving up more hits per game than just about every team in the league. The Phillies hitters could see good pitches to hit today.
Some trends to consider:
Philadelphia is 3-7-0 OU in its last 10 games against Atlanta
Philadelphia is 2-4-0 OU in its last 6 away
Atlanta is 13-1-0 OU in its last 14 games
Atlanta is 5-1-0 SU in its last 6 games after scoring 4 to 6 runs
Atlanta is 5-1-0 OU in its last 6 at home
Atlanta is 3-7-0 OU in its last 10 games against Philadelphia
