On Wednesday night, the hot pick to win the National League East division, the Atlanta Braves, will travel to Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia to take on the Phillies. The Braves will send their 2014 Opening Day starter Julio Teheran to the mound to take on A.J. Burnett.

The Braves have put added pressure on Teheran, who was 14-8 as a rookie a year ago with a 3.20 ERA. With injuries to Kris Medlen, Brandon Beachy and Mike Minor, Teheran will be relied upon to lead this young starting rotation. In 3 starts this season, he has allowed 6 earned runs in 19 innings with a 2.84 ERA, while going 1-1 with a 1.37 WHIP. In his career against the current Philadelphia roster, Teheran has allowed 13 hits in 44 at-bats with Jimmy Rollins (.444, 1 home run, 2 RBIs) having the most experience and success against him.

After coming back to relevancy in the past 2 seasons with the Pittsburgh Pirates, Burnett was given a chance in the offseason to join this rebuilding squad and has gone 0-1 with a 3.94 ERA in 16 innings. He has allowed 17 hits and 14 walks with 7 earned runs allowed and 10 strikeouts. In his career against the current Atlanta roster, Burnett has allowed 34 hits in 110 at-bats. B.J. Upton is hitting just .196 against him, but has 2 home runs and 5 RBIs, while Justin Upton, Dan Uggla, Chris Johnson, Jason Heyward and Freddie Freeman have each added a home run.
