Result: Win
Atlanta at Philadelphia 1:35 ET
Phillies over Braves- The Atlanta Braves who are 3-5 on their current road trip finally score some runs after 20 innings without crossing home plate. Philadelphia probably the NL's worst team has dropped 10 of their last 13 and yet Vegas makes them the favorite here. This afternoon the Braves send Trevor Cahill (0-2, 9.95 ERA) to the hill against Phillies Jerome Williams (1-1, 3.71) who is 1-3 lifetime against Atlanta with an ERA of 5.26. (And yet he is favored?) Cahill is not any better as he is 2-4 with a 3.60 ERA in six career games against Philadelphia. The 'numbers' tell the tale here. Take the PHILLIES!
