The World Series Game 4 starters couldn't be more different.
The Astros will hand the ball to 38-year-old Zack Greinke, who, between the MLB regular and postseason, has accumulated 3,219 innings pitched in a Hall of Fame career. The Braves will begin the game with 27-year-old rookie Dylan Lee on the mound, who has racked up a total of 4.2 MLB innings in his career.

The usage for the two teams, however, could remain the same. Greinke missed time in September due to a neck injury and returned to Houston's roster as a reliever. He has yet to pitch more than 1.1 innings this postseason. He's batting eighth in the lineup, and could potentially have an early exit for a pinch hitter.
Lee is starting a bullpen game, and certainly is not expected to eat much more than an inning or two before giving way to another reliever. Lee already made one appearance this World Series when he pitched 0.2 innings in Game 2. He allowed one of two inherited baserunners on score, but did not give up a hit. He struck out one.
Braves manager Brian Snitker is hoping this bullpen game can shut down the dangerous Astros lineup as his team aims to move to a 3-1 advantage in the World Series. Should Atlanta win, it would have a chance to clinch at home in Game 5 on Sunday. The Astros, on the other hand, will hope to steal away a game on the road and force the series to return to Houston.
