A Note for Today:

The Phillies can win the series today if they can get past Josh Beckett who has looked like the Beckett of old this year. AJ Burnett hasn’t been bad either, but he’ll have to cut down on the walks against a team that can punish you if you give them free outs.

Also, keep an eye on Ryan Howard. His average is down to .228 and is 2 for his last 27. Cody Asche is day to day with a sore hammy.

Lineup:

Revere CF / Rollins SS / Utley 2B / Howard 1B / Byrd RF / Brown LF / Nieves C / Hernandez 3B / Burnett P
