The Braves ended a seven-game losing skid at Dodger Stadium with Wednesday night’s victory. Now they will spend these next four days at AT&T Park, a place where they have won just once in their past six tries.
Tonight’s pitching matchup (Shelby Miller vs. Chris Heston) seems to favor the Braves. Heston has produced some impressive outings this season, but there might not be anybody currently pitching better than Miller, who has produced a 0.87 ERA and limited opponents to a .144 batting average in four starts this month.
Miller has allowed two earned runs or less in each of this season’s first nine starts and he has produced a Major League-best (minimum 12 starts) 1.
