Braves left-hander Jared Shuster (1-2, 5.49 ERA) is coming off his best start of his young career; six innings of one-run ball against Seattle. The Phillie have struggled against left-handers and they are 2-10 in their last 12 road games vs. a left-handed starter.

Phillies right-hander Taijuan Walker (3-2, 5.79 ERA) held the Cubs scoreless over 5 1/3 innings in his last start, at home, but he has an ugly ERA of 7.42 on the road this season. Also, while his ERA in day starts is very respectable, he has an ERA of 7.99 in his night games.
