Braves Probable Pitchers

Mazza is 1-2 with a 5.89 ERA in five starts this season. The right-hander's high in pitches in a start this season is 75. Mazza is 1-0 with a 1.93 career ERA against the Braves.

Wright will attempt to end the regular season on a strong note and increase Atlanta's confidence in his ability to assist in the postseason. The right-hander tossed 6 1/3 scoreless against the Mets on Sunday and delivered six strong innings the Sunday prior at Nationals Park.

The prospect has lived up to the hype, winning his first two starts and not allowing an earned run in 11 innings. Houck beat the Yankees last time out, taking a no-hitter into the sixth inning.

Davidson had a 2.15 ERA in 25 starts across Double-A and Triple-A in 2019. The left-hander was drafted in the 19th round by the Braves in '16 and has ridden a three-pitch mix to the big leagues.

Pivetta was impressive in his Red Sox debut, striking out eight over five innings and allowing just one run to get the win. In 11 career starts against the Braves, Pivetta is 4-2 with a 3.90 ERA.

Wilson provided a pleasant surprise on Tuesday, when he delivered five scoreless innings vs. the Marlins in his first start of the season. The right-hander impressed with a two-seamer that has improved while he has spent most of this year at the Braves' alternate training site.

Bauer is a leading candidate for the NL Cy Young Award and came on strong at the end with 46 strikeouts and only six walks over his final five starts. Bauer struck out 12 over eight innings in his last outing.

Fried tweaked his left ankle in his start on Wednesday against the Marlins, but he threw a successful live batting practice on Sunday and will make his first postseason start. The left-hander finished the regular season with an undefeated 7-0 record and a 2.25 ERA.

Castillo was 4-0 with a 1.26 ERA in four September starts before allowing four runs in four frames on Saturday. His changeup is one of the game's best, along with a 98-99 mph fastball and a punchout slider.

Anderson will make his first postseason appearance after showing promise in his first six MLB starts. The 22-year-old right-hander allowed the Yankees only one hit in six innings in his debut on Aug. 26, and he limited the Nationals to one hit over seven scoreless innings on Sept. 12. Opponents have hit .104 (5-for-48) against his changeup.
