Braves, Marlins continue set in Atlanta

Baseball Betting Lines

09/18/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Rookie southpaw Jo-Jo Reyes takes the ball for his eighth big-league start tonight when the Atlanta Braves host the Florida Marlins in game two of a three-game series at Turner Field.

The Braves enter the game with fading hopes in the National League wild card race, where they trail San Diego by 5 1/2 games. The Padres beat Pittsburgh, 3-0, on Monday.

Reyes, a 22-year-old Californian, was last active on September 4, tossing 3 1/3 innings of relief in a 5-2 loss to Philadelphia. His last start was August 26 in St. Louis, where he was touched for seven hits and two earned runs in six innings of a 4-1 loss to the Cardinals.

The Braves have lost all eight games in which Reyes has appeared this season, beginning with his debut on July 7 in San Diego. He has never faced the Marlins.

Florida lefty Chris Seddon makes the second start of his career.

Another Californian, Seddon, who'll be 24 next month, was ripped for eight hits and seven runs in just three innings of what turned into a 13-8 Marlins win on September 11 against Washington.

He's made three relief appearances other than that start, allowing two hits and an unearned run in three combined innings.

His last outing came September 15 at Colorado, where he allowed a hit and an unearned run in one inning of work.

On Monday, Chipper Jones had three hits and knocked in a pair of runs as the Braves held off the Marlins, 11-6.

Andruw Jones hit a three-run homer and Jeff Francoeur had a pair of hits and also drove in three runs for Atlanta.

John Smoltz (14-7) allowed just one run on four hits with a walk and four strikeouts over six innings. The 40-year-old right-hander has allowed just 11 hits and four runs over 19 innings while going 2-0 in his last three starts.

Cody Ross had three hits, including a solo homer, for the Marlins, who have dropped two straight. Mike Jacobs also homered and scored twice.

Byung-Hyun Kim (9-7) was touched for a career-worst nine runs and nine hits, with a walk and three strikeouts in just four-plus innings.

Florida and Atlanta have split 16 meetings so far this year.
