- Martin Prado, LF
- Jason Heyward, RF
- Chipper Jones, 3B
- Freddie Freeman, 1B

A win tonight would give the Braves their eighth series sweep of the season and their second over the Mets (July 13-15 at Atlanta). The last time the Braves earned a sweep at Citi Field was September 17-19, 2010.
Sheets' last appearance in Flushing was on May 12, 2008, when he posted a 5-3 victory while pitching for the Milwaukee Brewers.
