The Tigers have not announced a starter for the opening game of their series against the Braves but it has been mentioned it will be a bullpen game which should be interesting for the Tigers as they used six relief pitchers in the final game of their series with the Diamondbacks. They used Will Vest, Jose Cisnero, Chasen Shreve, Alex Lange, Tyler Holton, and Jason Foley. It's worth noting Holton started Thursday's game against the Phillies and went one inning in that one before turning the ball over to Reese Olson, Holton also only pitched 0.1 innings on Sunday. The Braves will go with Charlie Morton, who is making his 13th start for the Braves, and in his last outing, he pitched against the Mets in which he went 4.2 innings, giving up four runs on four hits; he walked four and struck out five.

The last time Olson made an appearance it came in relief after Tyler Holton made a spot start, Olson came in in the second inning and would go five innings giving up one run on three hits; he walked one and struck out three. Olson will face the Braves ace in Spencer Strider, who has been dominant this season and is making his 14th start of the season.
