(Starting Pitchers: C. Lee vs T. Jordan)
Cliff Lee is coming from a start against the red hot Braves, where he allowed three earned runs in five innings. Even though he had a 5.40 ERA in that outing, his 1.05 FIP and 2.15 xFIP show that he played well. Lee is pitching well and tonight against a team that is #29 in the league versus LH pitchers, he should dominate. Taylor Jordan will start for the Nationals and he has been struggling against LH batters with .294 BA, .329 wOBA, 4.43 FIP and 4.37 xFIP this season. Jordan has been pitching well, but he has been facing teams with lineups full of RH batters. Things will be much tougher for him against Philadelphia's lefties:
1. Jimmy Rollins (S) SS
2. Michael Young (R) 1B
3. Chase Utley (L) 2B
4. Domonic Brown (L) LF
5. Darin Ruf (R) RF
6. Cody Asche (L) 3B
7. Carlos Ruiz (R) C
8. Michael Martinez (S) CF
9. Cliff Lee (L)
With Lee dominating and with Jordan struggling with Philadelphia's LH batters, I believe the Phillies will pick up a comfortable win tonight.
