My Take On the Opposition
R.A. Dickey faced the Braves back on July 9th and suffered the loss pitching into the seventh while allowing four runs of which three were earned. The knuckleballer comes in having lost 4 of his last 5 decisions but did win in his last start. After last night’s victory over Johan Santana, the Braves will be looking to build some momentum for the home stand.
ESPN.com article by Mark Simon that shows that there were other Braves besides Chipper that have tormented the Mets.
