Atlanta @ Philadelphia over 9
It is true that the bats have been silent, but Javier Vazquez makes his debut for Atlanta today and I think it could be ugly for him. After being with an excellent pitching coach in Don Cooper for the last couple years vazquez is back in the NL and will revert to some of his really bad habits IMO. Cooper used to get on him and keep on him and he still struggled to get thru the 6th quite often. We will definitely need Blanton to give up some too, but Javy should give us the majority in this one.
