Lineup, how to watch Atlanta's series finale in Oakland

Sometimes, a team just has your number. 

Atlanta's notorious for its dominance over the Marlins, winning thirty of a possible forty-five games against the Fish since 2021 (including going six for seven in 2023). 

Maybe that's the case with Oakland, who entered this series with ten total wins on the season (in fifty-five games) but has strung together only their second set of back-to-back wins of the season at the hands of Atlanta, winning the first two games of this series. 

Atlanta's out for vengeance today, sending Jared Shuster to the mound hoping to stave off a sweep. 

Atlanta Braves Lineup for Wednesday, May 31st

Here's how the Braves will line up for the contest: 

Atlanta's giving Travis d'Arnaud the start today as they look to get the offense in gear, finally, against Oakland. 

Pitching Matchup for the Atlanta Braves vs Oakland Athletics on Wednesday, May 31st

Starting for the Braves is LHP Jared Shuster. The youngster is 1-2 with a 5.33 ERA in his five starts. He started twice early in the season, with the Braves losing both of those outings after he put up a 8.31 ERA with nine walks to five strikeouts, before being sent to AAA Gwinnett to work on some issues. He's seemingly figured things out recently, with his last three starts showing a much improved 3.78 ERA and six walks to fifteen strikeouts. He's never faced Oakland. 

Opposing Atlanta is RHP James Kaprielian. 0-5 on the season with a 8.45 ERA, he's got nine appearances (six starts) with thirty-four strikeouts to twenty-one walks in his thirty-three innings on the year. He's never faced Atlanta, and no Braves hitters have a recorded plate appearance against him (although, as he's on his fourth year, both Matt Olson and Sean Murphy are familiar with him).
