Toronto Blue Jays probable pitchers & starting lineups vs. Atlanta Braves, May 14

Happy Mother's Day to all of the mothers and grandmothers out there!

Some how, some way, the Toronto Blue Jays enter Sunday on the verge of sweeping the first-place Atlanta Braves, which is, in a word, awesome. The Jays have been playing some solid baseball over the past few days, highlighted by a Chris Bassitt complete game shutout on Friday. The 23-16 Jays will aim to send the 25-14 Braves packing beginning around 1:30 pm ET.

Probable starting pitchers

• Left-hander Yusei Kikuchi is gearing up to make the eighth start of his 2023 campaign against the Braves. So far this year in 37.2 innings of work, Kikuchi is 5-0 with a 3.35 ERA and a 127 ERA+. He has surrendered a bit more home runs that one would like to see out of him, but he's done an efficient job of keeping his club in the ballgame (mostly) every time he takes the mound.

• For the Braves, the club will turn to relief pitcher Collin McHugh to "start" the game as an opener. The 35-year-old has extensive experience starting games over the course of his 11-year career, so it's in the realm of possibility that Atlanta stretches him out a bit with so many of their starters on the injured list. In nine appearances and 13.1 innings this year, McHugh has a 3.38 ERA and 133 ERA+ with just eight strikeouts and five walks.
