Braves-Mets Preview

The Braves open an early and important series with the Mets tonight and are looking to bounce back from a rough 1-3 start with the losses coming against the Nationals and Pirates (that is just painful to type).


Projected Starters:

4/4 Tim Hudson (0-0) 2.57 era
4/5 Tom Glavine (0-0) 1.80 era
4/6 John Smoltz (0-0)
Projected Starters (Mets):
4/4 John Maine (0-0)
4/5 Mike Pelfrey (0-0)
4/6 Johan Santana (1-0)

The following are two stories regarding tonight's starters from mlb.com.
