The Braves get ready for a 7 game home stretch starting with 4 against the Pirates. Hanson (2-2) on the mound tonight versus Burnett (1-0). Hanson has thrown 24 innings with a 3.38 ERA & 1.21 WHIP with 23 SO. He goes up against a putrid offense tonight that ranks in the bottom of the league in most offensive categories. They have either been shut out or scored only 1 run in 7 of 18 games and have failed to score more than 5 in any game while the Braves rank 3rd in runs scored and in the top 10 in batting average, OBP, and slugging.
Despite having a dismal stint in the minors for rehab, Burnett had a good start against the Cardinals going 7 innings allowing 0 runs, 3 hits, and 7 strike outs. I don't see him having this kind of game against a hot Braves team at home.
2 unit play on the Braves (-177): List Hanson
