7/8 Braves @ Phillies

Vance Worley
(4-5, 3.46 ERA)
Jair Jurrjens
(2-2, 5.19 ERA)

















FIRST PITCH
1:35 PM

After yesterday once again showed that it does not matter if the Phillies can get a lead the trouble it seems can the Phillies hold a lead. Hopefully Worley will be able to control his pitches and hold down the fort long enough for the Phillies to score some runs and the try and possess the lead, but it could be difficult because Jurrjens has always been able to handle the Phillies. But Cliff Lee will be available to come out of the bull-pen just in case.

This is a game that may seem like it wont matter but if Worley can get going it maybe able to catapult the Phillies into an incredible run for the postseason in the second half of the season.

Keys to Victory
1). Get out early with a lead
2). Worley to not get comfortable if he gets the lead and keep attacking
3). Do not let Jurrjens to get a head in the count a lot and make him seat in the HEAT
