With a chance to win four straight for the first time this season, the Atlanta Braves hope Jair Jurrjens can put together his second strong start against the Pittsburgh Pirates as the teams continue a four-game series tonight.

The Braves are 4-3 on a nine-game homestand, trying to build some momentum before a six-game trip with series in Cincinnati and Boston.

Jurrjens is 1-2 with a 3.18 ERA in three career starts versus Pittsburgh.

The Braves will face former teammate Charlie Morton, who will be recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis to face Atlanta a week after being dealt to Pittsburgh.

Morton, who went 4-8 with a 6.15 ERA in 15 starts and one relief appearance for Atlanta last year, will get his first start of the season.

The Pirates are only 9-28 in the last 37 meetings in Atlanta. Before the game tonight, be sure to place your MLB bets with Bodog today.
