Johan Santana has the NL's best ERA but he's never beaten the Atlanta Braves, a drought he'll hope to end tonight when the New York Mets looks for their eighth straight victory in the opener of a three-game series at Citi Field.

Santana would certainly prefer a few more runs of support as he tries to earn his first career victory against the Braves, the only team in baseball he's yet to beat. He hasn't pitched poorly versus Atlanta but is 0-3.

Atlanta, meanwhile, is playing better after a rough 6-14 stretch. Casey Kotchman had three hits and three RBI on Sunday to lift the Braves past the Phillies 4-2, their fourth win in five games.

Atlanta will send Derek Lowe to the mound looking for his team-high fifth victory. Lowe has won three straight starts for the +175 underdog Braves.
