Well today starts the series between Philadelphia and Newark at the Cereal Bowl. Newark sends James Shields to the mound while the Animals counter with Johan Santana. Newark owns the season series between the two teams, taking 7 of 12, including a 3-game sweep the last time the two met in Philly. The Animals actually split the series in Newark, winning 3 of the 6 games they played there. Santana will be relied on heavily in this Game 1. In three starts against Newark this season, Johan has gone 2-0 with a 3.78 ERA in 16.2 innings with a scary 1.68 WHIP and 25 strikeouts. Shields has played in two games against the Animals, but hasn't made it out of the third inning in either start - both times leaving with various injuries.
