Probable starting pitchers
- Last time out was an interesting outing for Cristopher Sánchez (2-4), against these very same Braves. While he went 7.1 innings and struck out 10, he also allowed eight hits, a walk and four earned runs, to be tagged with the loss. As a whole though, this has been a promising breakout season for Sánchez. In 16 starts he has produced a 3.40 ERA, 4.03 FIP and 1.053 WHIP.
- After finishing second in NL Rookie of the Year voting last season, Spencer Strider (17-5) is now putting together a campaign worthy of Cy Young consideration. He leads the Majors with 17 wins, 259 strikeouts and a 2.83 FIP. Strider also has a 3.73 ERA and a 1.083 whip, while leading the Braves with 17 quality starts in 29 outings. His last appearance came against the Phillies and he dominated, giving up just four hits, two walks and one earned run in 7.0 innings, striking out nine in the process.
