Atlanta at Philadelphia

The Philadelphia Phillies hung in there for quite awhile with a young and talented team, but just didn't have enough to make it down the stretch. The Phillies began an eight-game road trip in Atlanta and closed it last night in Colorado. I think they will be glad to be home, as they came up empty on the trip going 0-8. The Phillies are a different team at home where they are 47-31 on the season, and the Atlanta Braves no longer have anything to play for and will be resting players and setting their rotation for the playoffs. The Phillies can still finish the season at .500, and a win tonight keeps that hope alive. Play on Philadelphia.
