For the Atlanta Braves, the regular season's final week is as much about getting ready for the National League playoffs as it is winning and losing.
With that in mind, manager Brian Snitker made a change for Wednesday night's series finale with the Kansas City Royals that he believes will give his team the best chance of winning a Division Series against either St. Louis or Milwaukee.
Instead of starting rookie right-hander Mike Soroka, Snitker has opted to use veteran Josh Tomlin in his spot opposite Kansas City left-hander Mike Montgomery.
