The Orlando Juice are here to play a 4 game series through the weekend. They just split a pair of games in Louisville. We are 8-2 against them on the season and won 2 of 3 games the first time they visited, June 4-6. They are 4th in scoring with 4.38 runs per game (Jacksonville is #3 with 4.44). We have scored 13 more runs than they have, but have played one more game. The Juice are 9th in fewest runs allowed with 3.99 per game (Jacksonville is #1 with 3.19). Their run differential is +59, 4th best in the MLB, and ours is +190, still the best.

Orlando Juice (76-75 .503 27.5 GB tied for 3rd place in the Southern Division) at
Jacksonville Jays (104-48 .684 20.5 GA in 1st place in the Southern Division)

ORL: Don Miller (33-L) (2-0 2.84 ERA 12.2 IP, 12 H, 0 HR, 10 BB, 8 SO) Rookie
JAX: Jim Baucom (23-L) (25-3 1.75 ERA 257.1 IP, 168 H, 10 HR, 38 BB, 248 SO) All-Star(3: 02-04)

This will be Miller's 3rd start of the season and 4th of his career. He made 1 start for Columbus in 2001. We have never faced him. He has a career ERA of 5.63 in A Ball, but he is a lefty, so you never know...

Baucom had his worst start of the season last time out. He gave up 5 runs on 9 hits, 1 home run and 1 walk with 6 strikeouts in 7 innings in a no decision that we won in 10 innings.
