The New Orleans Pelicans are here to play a 3 game series over the weekend. They just lost 2 of 3 in Orlando and have lost 7 of their last 8 games, getting shut out 3 times. We are 4-4 against them on the season and split 4 games with them the first time they visited, May 20-23. They are 15th in scoring with 3.47 runs per game (Jacksonville is #3 with 4.47). They are last in HR with 56 and we are 8th with 94. The Pelicans are 11th in fewest runs allowed with 4.18 per game (Jacksonville is #1 with 3.17). Their run differential is -90, 4th worst in the MLB, and ours is +166, still tops.

New Orleans Pelicans (56-71 .441 31.5 GB in 7th place in the Southern Division) at
Jacksonville Jays (88-40 .688 15.5 GA in 1st place in the Southern Division)

NO: Bill Colby (33-R) (7-14 4.99 ERA 164 IP, 190 H, 23 HR, 51 BB, 88 SO)
JAX: Dave Buchalter (26-R) (2-0 2.19 ERA 12.1 IP, 9 H, 1 HR, 8 BB, 5 SO)

Colby is 2nd in the MLB in losses and tied for 1st in most HR allowed. He has lost more games than any other pitcher in the MLB (67). Nevertheless, he shut us out on 5 hits with no walks and 4 strikeouts the last time we faced him. We beat him up the first time we met him this year. 3.75 ERA, 12 IP, 10 H, 1 HR, 1 BB, 5 SO.

Buchalter has won both of his starts so far. He gave up 1 run on 5 hits and 3 walks with 2 strikeouts in 5.1 innings last time out.
