The Atlanta Braves released their lineup for tonight's series finale against the Milwaukee Brewers. Atlanta, who's looking to avoid a sweep, will send southpaw Paul Maholm to the mount to face Milwaukee's Yovani Gallardo. The Braves have won seven of their last ten and would be in the Wild Card playoff if the season ended today.
