Philadelphia is 5-1 this season, earning them an early 2 game lead in the National League East division. The Phillies are expected to win a World Series this year, so anything less will be a disappointment. Offensively, the Phillies are batting a major league leading .353 as a team this season. Philadelphia is playing just their 2nd road game of the season this afternoon. Pitcher Roy Oswalt earned a win in his season debut, a 7-3 win over his former team, the Houston Astros. The Phillies are 6-1 in Oswalt's last 7 starts against the National League East. Philadelphia is 5-1 in Oswalt's last 6 starts against a team with a losing record. The Phillies are 9-2 in Oswalt's last 11 starts following a Quality Start in his last appearance. The Phillies are 13-3 in Oswalt's last 16 starts.

BRAVES: Atlanta is expected to challenge Philadelphia for the National League East division this year. The Braves have struggled with the Phillies of late, losing 5 of the past 6 meetings between the two. The Braves are struggling offensively, as they've only scored more than 3 runs in two of their games this season. Atlanta is only batting .228 as a team so far this season, 7th worst in baseball. Luckily the Braves have one of the best pitching staffs in the game. The Braves staff has a team ERA of 2.75, 3rd best in the game. Atlanta is playing just their 2nd home game of the season this afternoon. Pitcher Brandon Beachy earned a no decision in his 1st start of the season, an impressive performance against the Milwaukee Brewers. Beachy went 6 innings and only gave up 1 earned run while striking out 7 Brewers. The Braves are 15-6 in their last 21 Saturday games. Atlanta is 51-23 in their last 74 home games.

Team Tips Top Trends Key Injuries

YANKEES: New York always gets excited when they play their nemesis in the Boston Red Sox. The Yankees have a rare opportunity to run salt in the wound, as they can continue to keep the Red Sox winless this weekend. The Yankees are currently 4-3 this season. New York has hit 13 home runs this season, tied for the most in baseball. However, the Yankees are hitting just .241 this season, near the bottom third in the game.

RED SOX: (-152, O/U 10) Boston has easily been the surprise of the early season, as they've yet to win a game. The Red Sox had arguably the finest off season in baseball, as they acquired every day players in Adrian Gonzalez and Carl Crawford. With expectations at an all time high, the Red Sox have yet to deliver a single run. Boston has been a diaster for bettors this year, as they are -8.39 units thus far.
