Boston Red Sox at Philadelphia Phillies [ESPN | 7:05 PM ET]

Red Sox: Bartolo Colon has added another solid arm to the Red Sox rotation, winning four of his five starts this season. Colon has allowed two runs or less in three of his starts, while recording 22 strikeouts in 29 innings of work. He's pitched well in his two road starts, going 2-0 with an ERA of 3.46.

Key Injuries - OF Manny Ramirez (.301; hamstring) is questionable.

PROJECTED SCORE: 4

Phillies (-165, O/U 9): Cole Hamels has been solid for the Phillies in 2008, although he's hit a wall of late, going 1-1 with three no-decisions in his last five starts. Hamels had a two-game stretch against the Astros and Marlins where he gave up 13 runs but he returned to form in his last two outings, allowing just two runs in 17 innings of work. The UNDER is 4-2 the last six times Hamels has taken the mound.

Phillies are 8-2 in their last 10 home games.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 5



Atlanta Braves at Colorado Rockies [8:05 PM ET]

Braves: Jair Jurrjens hasn't lost a game since May 12 but strong run support has helped the Braves overcome some poor outings from him over the last month. Jurrjens has allowed 18 runs over his last 32 innings pitched but Atlanta is 4-1 over that span. Jurrjens has been much better at home than on the road this season, where he's 1-3 with an ERA of 4.84. The OVER is 4-0 in Jurrjens' last four starts.

However, he only recorded one win to go along with two no-decisions in those three games. The Giants have won four of the last five games overall with Linecum on the hill.
