We are back home to play the Orlando Juice at 3 game series over the weekend. They just swept the Hornets in 3 games at Charlotte and have won 6 in a row. We are 3-3 against them on the season and split a pair of games the first time they visited, June 7-8. They have passed us and are now 7th in scoring with 4.13 runs per game (Jacksonville is #8 with 4.09). We have both scored 442 runs, but we have played one more game. The Juice are 11th in fewest runs allowed with 4.11 per game (Jacksonville is #2 with 3.49). Their run differential is +2, 6th best in the MLB, and ours is +65, 4th best.
