Harang has allowed at least three runs in each of his first three starts, so judging by at Atlanta's recent offensive output, scoring that many shouldn't be much of a problem; Minor has not walked a batter in his last 15 innings; he has made only one other start against the Dodgers: September 3, 2011 in Atlanta; five current Braves have at least 15 AB against Harang and all are hitting over .300 against him: Michael Bourn (8-for-24, 1 double, 1 HR), Brian McCann (11-for-20, 7 doubles, 2 HR), Dan Uggla (9-for-24, 4 doubles, 2 HR), Jack Wilson (16-for-48, 2 doubles, 1 triple) and Chipper Jones (6-for-15, 1 HR); David Ross is 4-for-9 with 3 HR.
