A CUP of JOE in the SHOW Report ..CENTURY MARK #100 Edition...Going Top Shelf?...BRAVES travel to the POTOMAC...and GIGANTES hike to CHAVEZ RAVINE..3-GAME SET Royalty

If no one had a Clue who would win the National League East or West ...well you will have a pretty good idea come Wednesday Night after the Dust settles.

The Braves travel to the Nats for a 3-Game Tilt as they trail the Potomac Contingent by only 5 Games but lead the NL Wild Card. The  Dodgers on the Other Side get to host the Gigantes and be careful Boys in Blue what you wish for with the Gigantes Starting Pitching Firepower.

The Braves will be looking to cover some ground and put a little Pressure on the Nats as they try to inch closer to the NL East Crown. Braves have been getting Timely Hitting and and Pitching with that 100 mph plus Closer in Kimbrel shutting it down late.

The Nats have arguably the Best Starting Pitching in the Show and the they are finally healthy through that order with Jayson Werth coming off a few weeks ago.

ATL Medlen (4-1) vs WSH Detwiler (7-5)  7:05PM ET

Three good-looking Match Ups from the Bump with Huddy and S2 going on Opposite Days. Both Clubs get to see where they Stand among the Elite.

The Dodgers have played for the Most Part Darn Good and that last Road Trip they took 2 of 3 from both the Buccos and Braves. LAD Hot Corner Luis Cruz has been on fire and the Giants will miss 6 in a Row Winner RHP Chad Billingley.

The Giants have been up and down as its more of an issue of Hitting than Pitching. There is no better Time to get going than now as they are a 1/2 back of the Boys in Blue with Better Starting Pitching.

They Heavy Hitters are pout as the Gigantes will throw Bumgarner and Lincecum in the 1st Two and a Possible Rubber Match go to Matt Cain..Ouch! The Dodgers will come with 2011 Cy Young Winner Clayton Kershaw and then Blanton and Capuano. The Giants get the Edge from the Bump and that's it. It will be SF Pitching vs Dodgers Hitting as the Boys in Blue have picked it up at the Dish.
