Matt Stairs is starting for Werth today. Werth is hitting .417 with 4 homers in his last 7 games, so I'm not so sure about this one. With Stairs in there we have a very lefty heavy lineup (Utley, Howard, Ibanez, Stairs batting 3-6). That might be okay because the Braves only have 2 lefty relievers, one of which has pitched in 4 of their past 5 games and the other has pitched in each of the past 2, so who knows about their availability. It's also nice to have Werth as a pinch hitter I suppose. We'll see how it works out. If its the wrong decision then you know it'll work out for Charlie
