As the Braves and the Phillies prepare for an important weekend set, let's take a look at the matchups...
Game 1:
Starters: Tim Hudson vs Jamie Moyer
Probable lineups:
Braves:
- Yunel Escobar, SS
- Kelly Johnson, 2B
- Chipper Jones, 3B
- Mark Teixeira, 1B
- Jeff Francoeur, RF
- Brian McCann, C
- Gregor Blanco, CF
- Josh Anderson, LF
Possible lineup change: Greg Norton in LF. If his knee feels better, Bobby Cox will likely continue the retardation that is starting Greg Norton in LF; Omar Infante at 2B
Phillies:
- Jimmy Rollins, SS
- Shane Victorino, CF
- Chase Utley, 2B
- Ryan Howard, 1B
- Pat Burrel, LF
- Geoff Jenkins, RF
- Pedro Feliz, 3B
- Chris Coste, C
Possible lineup change: Carlos Ruiz at C
Advantage: Braves
Hudson is a true ace, and is tough to beat. Jamie Moyer can befuddle a team, but is very hittable.
Game 1 X factor: If Bobby Cox starts Omar Infante over Kelly Johnson, I'll probably throw a fit. The team is much better with KJ in there.
