The Atlanta Braves enjoyed the weekend immensely, using the work of Brandon Phillips to produce back-to-back victories over the Miami Marlins in walk-off fashion. On Monday evening, there will be a new opponent in the form of the San Francisco Giants but the venue remains familiar at SunTrust Park.
In truth, this appears to be a difficult spot for the Braves from a pitching standpoint. R.A. Dickey takes the ball for Atlanta and his struggles (including a performance in which he allowed eight earned runs last week) are well documented.
