The Charlotte Hornets are in for a short 2 game set. They won 2 of 3 at Richmond over the weekend, giving us a hand, and I hope they continue being nice to us. We are 7-2 against them on the season and split a pair of games the last time they visited, June 27-28. They are 4th in scoring with 4.32 runs per game (Jacksonville is #7 with 4.23). The Hornets are 14th in fewest runs allowed with 4.44 per game (Jacksonville is still #2, by a hair, with 3.58). Their run differential is -12, 8th in the MLB, and ours is +65, up to #3.
