Phillies -1 RL or -1.5
I picked this game as my writeup because I know this philly team best and I just can not see them losing tonight. Phillies see blood when it comes to the Braves and they get the win tonight.
Roy Halladay is the best as they come. He will have a killer instinct tonight and dominate the Braves in my opinion. Even if he doesn't, the philly bats, who have come to life big time in September will lead the charge and get the victory.
This philly team is hitting now. It's about time. With Chase Utley and Ryan Howard getting it together after injury. They both have been hitting the ball very well. Raul Ibanez has also been on fire as of late, as well as Werth coming back into form. Shane Victorino since moving to the top of the order spot has also been doing some nice damage. Let's break down this game!!
Philadelphia Phillies are 91-60 in all games in 2010. That is the best record in the National League, and tied with the best record in baseball with the Yankees. Phillies are 49-27 in home games. 11-1 as a home favorite of -200 to -225 16-3 in September. The best mark in baseball. This team is on fire and ready for the playoffs
Phillies are 68-38 in night games in 2010. Phillies when playing against a winning record baseball team 2nd half of the season, they are 28-8. 93-50 their last 3 years.
Atlanta Braves are definitely slowing down and not playing their best baseball in September. Braves are 87-66 in the 2010 season. 0-5 as a road underdog of +175 to +200. In road games, Braves are 34-42. At a total of 8-8.5 on the road, they are 12-22. When playing against a winning team 2nd half of the season, Braves are 22-16. They are 9-10 so far in September.
Pitching matchup is Roy Halladay vs. Mike Minor.
Mike Minor is a left handed stater. Lefties in the past have given this Phillies team so problems. As of late, Phillies have done quite well against lefties winning at least the last 3 against them. Minor his last 3 starts he has an ERA at 9.00. He has pitched pooe his last 3 against the Nationals, Cardinals, and Marlins. He gave up 4 runs in 5 innings against the Nationals. He did the same against the Cardinals. He gave up 6 runs in 4 innings against the Marlins. He lost his last 2 out of 3. Minor had a road ERA of 6.75 and overall he has an ERA of 5.84.
Roy Halladay has had a fantastic first season for the Phillies. He will be a CY Young candidate at seasons end. Halladay has not been as sharp his last 3 starts but I am sure he will be fired up and ready to go for tonight’s baseball game. Halladay has a 2.49 ERA in all starts in 2010. He has a home ERA of 2.24. Those stats are just nasty. Halladay has won his last 3 games.
Halladay has 3 career starts against the Braves with an insane .36 ERA. He has faced the Braves 2 times this season going the distance in both games giving up 1 and 0 runs in victories. His has only given up 1 run against the Braves in his career in 25 innings.
