The lineups are in for today’s matchup between Nelson Figueroa and that notorious Mets nemesis, Braves right-hander John Smoltz (pictured), in the finale of a three-game series at Shea Stadium. The Mets are going with their usual lineup, with the exception being Endy Chavez in left in place of Angel Pagan. That’s two days in a row on the bench for Pagan — could be a sign the Mets are getting him ready for his role after Moises Alou’s imminent arrival.

Here is the Mets’ order:

Jose Reyes SS

Luis Castillo 2B

David Wright 3B

Carlos Beltran CF

Ryan Church RF

Carlos Delgado 1B

Raul Casanova C

Endy Chavez LF

Nelson Figueroa P

The Braves are coming off their first loss in four games against the Mets this season but will obviously have confidence in Smoltz. He has already beaten the Amazin’s once this year, out-dueling Johan Santana in Atlanta the first weekend of the season.

Here is what Atlanta is going with:

Kelly Johnson 2B

Gregor Blanco LF

Jeff Francoeur RF

Mark Texeira 1B

Brian McCann C

Mark Kotsay CF

Martin Prado 3B

Brent Lillibridge SS

John Smoltz RHP
