Atlanta got a huge 9-3 win last night against Philadelphia to take game one of the series. The Braves had 11 hits in the 
decisive victory and they got a combined five RBI from Chipper Jones and Troy Glaus, both of whom hit home runs. The starting pitching was just as effective as the offense as Tommy Hanson held the Phillies to three hits and one earned run over 6.2 innings.
Yesterday's win, which was the sixth in a row for Bobby Cox squad, moved the Braves into first place in the NL East with a 29-22 record. Atlanta takes a half game lead over the Phillies into tonight's game.
Philadelphia suffered its second consecutive loss last night and seventh in its last 10 games to fall to 28-22 on the year. The Phillies offense has been dreadful of late, scoring just 10 runs in its last eight games for a 1.25 runs per game average. The team has failed to score a single run in five of its last 10 games.
Tonight's starting pitchers are former World Series MVP Cole Hamels and veteran hurler Tim Hudson. Hamels got off to a rough start this season; however, he has truned things around in his last five starts, helping the Phillies to a 4-1 record in that stretch. The California native is 5-3 in 10 starts with a 3.82 ERA and 63 strikeouts in 63.2 innings pitched. Hudson is 5-1 in 10 starts this year with a 2.24 ERA and 1.13 WHIP. The Braves are 4-0 in his last four outings, winning by an average of 8.25 runs per game. The 34 year old right-hander has allowed just four earned runs in his last 26 innings of work.
MLB Odds Betting Trend: The Over is 9-1 in Tim Hudson's last 10 starts as a home favorite with a total between 7.5 and 8.
