The Phillies seek their sixth home series victory of the season with a seasoned veteran on the hill.

Atlanta Braves at Philadelphia Phillies

Atlanta ended a two-game skid with a 6-3 extra-innings victory over the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park and quieted the home town media about making a run at the first place team.  “All you heard last night, whether you were watching television, listening to the radio, was the fact this series was going to turn the momentum around,” Braves third baseman Chipper Jones said.  The club is now 3-2 in July (+70) after going 17-11 in June and 20-8 in May.  Atlanta gets set to deal with a left-handed starter for the 26th time this season, posting a 12-13 record in those games (-260) and 63-68 mark the last three years (-1,500).

The head coaches get all of the attention in the NFL, but who they hire as coordinators has at least as much bearing on the on-field success of the team as their own performance. Coaches all have different styles, but for many teams the head coach acts as the CEO who oversees operations, and it’s the coordinators who actually work with the players, implement the strategy, call the plays, and have the direct impact on the outcome of games. The media tends to spend most of their time dwelling on head coaches, though, spending the limited coordinator time they do have on the high profile stars. By looking beyond those big names and getting a sense of some of the significant under the radar coordinator moves that have been made in the offseason bettors can have an edge over those who aren’t paying attention. Here are three significant coordinator changes that you’ll want to consider as you prepare for this upcoming NFL season:

The Blue Jays are easily the best home underdog on Tuesday’s MLB card.

Minnesota Twins at Toronto Blue Jays

Minnesota gets no break in traveling up north for a series against the Toronto Blue Jays, with the club carrying a disappointing 8-12 mark against the AL East division.  The Twins also currently stand at 18-21 on the road this season (-210) and have dropped 13 of their last 19 away from Target Field.  Offensively, the lineup will be led by the All-Star combination of catcher Joe Mauer and first baseman Justin Morneau.  Mauer is hitting .388 in his last 14 games against the Blue Jays, while Morneau is a sizzling .354 with seven home runs and 26 RBIs in his last 25 meetings.  Minnesota is an even 1-1 on artificial turf this season – the surface of the team’s old home the Metrodome.

The Athletics are the best home underdog on Monday’s card in a series opening game against the Yankees.

New York Yankees at Oakland Athletics

New York heads West with the best record in baseball (50-31, +250) and winners of two of its last three games.  Tonight’s game is the first of a seven-game road trip, with the club currently 22-18 away from Yankee Stadium (-190).  The Bronx Bombers are a dominating 33-17 against right-handed starters in 2010 (+780), averaging 5.7 runs and combining to bat .284 as a team.  In those 50 games, New York is outscoring opponents by a run and a half (5.7 to 4.2).  The Yankees are 14-4 against the Athletics since the start of the 2008 season.  New York also brings an impressive 33-18 (.647) mark against them since 2004, marking the highest winning percentage over the stretch by any AL team.

The Phillies turn to their ace in the opening game of a crucial NL East series at Citizens Bank Park.

Atlanta Braves at Philadelphia Phillies

Atlanta comes into this crucial NL East showdown two games ahead of the New York Mets.  The Braves won all three series of its recently completed homestand, but it ended with a 3-2 loss to Florida on Sunday.  The loss was only the fourth in Atlanta’s last 24 home games and ended the club’s three-game winning streak.  The Braves now must leave their MLB-best 30-10 home record and head on the road.  Atlanta stands at 18-24 overall on the road (-650) and is 93-111 away from Turner Field over the last three years (-1,330).  The offense will find itself in a precarious spot this evening, managing to bat just .232 over the last seven games and .249 overall on the road this season.  Opposing pitchers from the NL East have also held the Braves to just 3.5 runs per game within the division.
