We are in Orlando to play our in state rivals a short 2 game set. They won 2 of 3 at Birmingham over the weekend. We are 7-2 against them on the season and we won a pair of games the first time we were here, June 27-28. The only 2 games we have won in the last 19 contests were against them in Jacksonville. The Juice are 7th in scoring with 4.15 runs per game (Jacksonville is #16 with 3.47). They are 13th in fewest runs allowed with 4.45 per game (Jacksonville is #16 with 5.17). Their run differential is -34 and ours is -186, now worse than all of the other teams with negative run differentials combined (-159). Our winning percentage is .339, a pace to lose 107 games, but we are +2 on our Pythagorean projection and should be on a pace to lose 110 games... Though the way things are going, we might not win another game all year and end up with 125 losses....

Jacksonville Jays (37-72 .339 26 GB in 8th (last) place in the Southern Division) at
Orlando Juice (46-64 .418 17.5 GB in 7th place in the Southern Division)

JAX: Dalton Hartman (24-R) (2-4 4.91 ERA 47.2 IP, 60 H, 5 HR, 13 BB, 16 SO) Rookie vs.
ORL: Antonio Perez (26-L) (7-7 3.77 ERA 148 IP, 158 H, 14 HR, 53 BB, 69 SO)

Hartman gave up 4 runs on 8 hits and no walks with 1 strikeout in 4.2 innings last time out, in a loss.

We faced Perez in June and only scored 1 run on 3 hits and 3 walks with 7 strikeouts in 8 IP, but he had a no decision and we won the game with 3 runs in the top of the 9th.
