Well, there are only two today, and they are both late starts. The best is the Phillies at the Dodgers. Both teams have played 25 games, but the Phillies have scored almost 50 more runs (that's 2 more per game) than the Dodgers. Why? Neither team has hit many HR. The Dodgers are last in the league with 15, but the Phillies have only 17. The Phillies have 16 more hits, but they have 34 more walks, and that gives them a 40 point advanatage in OBA. On top of that, the Dodgers have hit poorly with runners in scoring position (.238), while the Phillies have hit very well (.294). Meanwhile, both teams are pitching very well, with the Dodgers 2nd in ERA in the NL, and the Phillies 4th.

In the other game, the DBacks return home after their double header sweep of the Mets to host the Marlins. The Marlins are really running wild. They have stolen 43 bases this year; the next closest team, the Giants, have 16! And not only are they running a lot, they are running well. The are sucessful over 78% of the time, well over the break even point of 67%. Meanwhile, no one is running on the Marlins, with only 11 attempts against them this year. Watch the running game tonight!
