For Atlanta:
Phillies Vs. Braves: The Starting Lineups
Michael Bourn - CF
Martin Prado - LF
Chipper Jones - 3B
Dan Uggla - 2B
Freddie Freeman - 1B
Brian McCann - C
Matt Diaz - RF
Jack Wilson - SS
Tim Hudson - P
Pretty standard until you get to right field, where Jason Heyward isn't starting against a right hander because ...
Fredi G has Diaz in lineup over Heyward because of Blanton’s numbers vs. LHBs, and he’ll have Diaz in already when Hamels enters.Okay.
And the Phillies:
Jimmy Rollins - SS
Chase Utley - 2B
Hunter Pence - RF
Ryan Howard - 1B
John Mayberry - CF
Raul Ibanez - LF
Placido Polanco - 3B
Carlos Ruiz - C
Joe Blanton - P
Charlie Manuel isn't putting out the John Bowker Express lineup -- this is probably what the Diamondbacks, Brewers, or Cardinals will see in Game One of the NLDS. Blanton is expected to give way to Cole Hamels for a couple of innings, much to the chagrin of Joe Blanton, who has Joe Blanton on his fantasy team.
In other news, Joe Blanton is in last place in his fantasy league.
