After having themselves a pretty successful weekend series against the defending World Series champions, the Atlanta Braves are now travelling to Philadelphia to renew hostilities with their divisional rivals as they take on the Phillies.
Drew Smyly is going to be getting the ball for the Braves to start tonight’s game and at the risk of sounding like a bit of a doom-and-gloom type of fan, this is a situation that has the potential for disaster. For starters, the Phillies have already gotten well-acquainted with Smyly earlier this season — Philadelphia hit two dingers against him back on April 11 and scored five runs over five innings during that start.
