This is an 8* play on the Philadelphia Phillies.
The Braves are 6-10 and the Phillies are 7-9. We're expecting Philadelphia to build off yesterday's 4-3 victory.
Jaime Garcia: He's 0-1 with a 4.67 ERA. Right on line with last season's 10-13, 4.67 finish. Most recently he gave up two runs off five hits with three walks over six innings in a no-decision against the light-hitting Padres on Monday. It was the first time he'd made it into the seventh inning in three tries. Garcia struggled to open the year and note that he was just 4-4 with a poor 4.98 ERA on the road last season.
Jerad Eickhoff: He's 0-1 with a 2.75 ERA. Most recently he gave up three runs off eight hits and one walk across six innings in a no-decision against the Nationals, while also going on to strike out five. Eickhoff hit the strike zone at a 71 percent rate and his only walk was an intentional free pass. He's posted three straight quality starts, but has received just four runs of support in that span.
The bottom line: Eickhoff comes in on top form and faces a favorable opponent. We expect PHILADELPHIA to finally provide some run support for its third-year pro.
