Probable starting pitchers: Braves LH Eric Stults (0-0, 5.40) vs. RH Dan Haren (0-0, 1.50)

He is 6-2 with a 4.50 ERA in 10 starts against the Braves overall. Kelly Johnson and A.J. Pierzynski could find their way into the lineup Wednesday for the day-game-after-the-night-game start and also because of their success against Haren.
