This games looks like revenche for atlanta. It is the second time the braves meet Tomo in less than a week. Montreal not doing good at home, new player came in saturday for atlanta , Glavine needs a strong outing.
I will let you do the number crushing but here is some bit of info i have pick up here and there.
In last week matchup while Marquis suffered the loss, Expos starter Tomo Ohka (1-2) earned his first win since April 17 and first in four starts with the Expos. The right-hander allowed the Braves just two runs on six hits in 5 2/3 innings. The over is 5-2 in Ohka's last seven starts and MONT is 4-11 in their last 15 played at Olympic StadiumBoth of the runs came on the first two pitches of the second inning. Brian Jordan and Surhoff drilled back-to-back homers in the inning to give the Braves a 2-0 lead. But after that, Ohka stood tall. "Doesn't feel like anything special to get first win," Ohka said. "I tried to do things as usual and not do anything special. "I just tried to keep the ball down."Although the braves remains in a first place tie with the Phillies, Marquis knows the team needs to turn things around to end the disgust, disappointment and despair that some players are feeling. This sound like revenche for this afternoon.
The Braves finished 5-8 on their longest homestand of the season and improved to only 34-38 at Turner Field.
After yesterday win'' Chipper Jones said. ``These sort of games have been few and far between. Maybe if we can string a couple together, it will give us some confidence.''
I feel that Montreal at home is a good place for this to happen
Glavine's last six starts have played under and although he has struggle lately he is 8-3 on the road this season.The last three meetings have played under.
Like Atlanta on this one.
