Martin Prado (credits below) Hitters To StartMartin Prado |Atlanta Braves| (100%) – Prado has been having a great season hitting for a high average even by his standards.  This week should be a great one for Prado.  The Braves get to face 4 left-handed starting pitchers, something Prado thrives on. 

James Shields After a magnificent 2011 that saw James Shields transform from innings eater to a bona fide ace, this year’s version leaves much to be desired. With the first half over, owners are being burnt by Shields to the tune of a 4.17 ERA and 1.42 WHIP. While regression
