Dodgers @ Braves
At SunTrust Park
LHP
4-4, 3.82 ERA, 77 SO
After nearly appearing in relief during Tuesday night’s marathon, Hill returns as a starter to open the series with the Braves, coming off a solid six-inning, one-run start in Milwaukee with nine strikeouts.
RHP
5-3, 3.00 ERA, 74 SO
Thoughts of Sanchez coming back down to earth have evaporated as he has posted a 2.92 ERA over four July starts, three of which have come against playoff contenders. His 41.8 ground-ball percentage would be his best since 2014.

Dodgers @ Braves
At SunTrust Park
LHP
4-5, 2.52 ERA, 91 SO
Victimized by three unearned runs in Milwaukee, Kershaw continued to pitch well despite low velocity, striking out five without a walk. He’s hitting more bats, but still gives the Dodgers a chance to win just about every start.
RHP
7-7, 3.04 ERA, 133 SO
Foltynewicz shook off some rust Sunday as he allowed 3 1st-inning runs, but prevented the Nats from scoring again until the 6th. He allowed 2 earned runs or fewer in 15 of his first 16 starts, but he's allowed at least 4 in each of his past 3 starts.

Dodgers @ Braves
At SunTrust Park
LHP
7-5, 3.68 ERA, 103 SO
Wood allowed five of the first six Brewers batters to reach base in his last start, but limited the damage to a pair of first-inning runs over six innings. He’ll be amped as usual when he faces the team that traded him to the Dodgers.
LHP
1-4, 3.51 ERA, 32 SO
Fried will make his return to the mound after being placed on the 10-day disabled list on July 6 with a blister on his left middle finger. He was sent on rehab assignment with Triple-A Gwinnett, where he went 6 2/3 scoreless innings, striking out 10.

Dodgers @ Braves
At SunTrust Park
RHP
8-3, 2.68 ERA, 119 SO
After allowing back-to-back homers in the All-Star Game, Stripling was taken deep by the Phillies three times and didn’t get out of the fifth inning, raising concerns of fatigue.
LHP
10-5, 3.23 ERA, 110 SO
Stuff has never been an issue for Newcomb, but command has. He ranks second among all starters in batting average against curveballs, but the pitch’s value has been diminished by his inability to consistently get ahead in the count.

Marlins @ Braves
At SunTrust Park
LHP
3-8, 5.86 ERA, 62 SO
Chen comes off a quality start against the Braves at Marlins Park, and now the lefty gets Atlanta at SunTrust Park. In his previous meeting, he gave up three runs in six innings. On the road, Chen has had his struggles, posting a 10.47 ERA.
RHP
8-7, 4.46 ERA, 105 SO
Teheran has struggled with consistency in certain areas as of late, as shown in his last start. He gave up nine runs on seven hits through 4 1/3 innings on Tuesday in the Braves' 9-3 loss to the Marlins.
