Two notes on a pretty quiet day

There really hasn't been much discussed today as everyone just seems to be preparing for tonights matchup of Johan Santana and Cole Hamels.

On paper, it's a pitching duel, but they're in Citizens Bank Park, and when do have these ace's meet, it rarely ever works out like that.

John Delcos has tonight's over/under home run total at four. I'll take the over.

Two notes:
Carlos Beltran should return tonight after missing last night with a sore neck. He pinch hit in the ninth inning, but struck out swinging with men on base.

Also, Jimmy Rollins will not be playing tonight, as he is attending his uncle's funeral. He may or may not be back Saturday, but definitely by Sunday.
