After a dramatic series win in New York, the Nats hit the road one last time as they head to Atlanta. The Braves are red hot, winners of 8 in a row. Unfortunately for them, they got hot too late. If they made a move a few weeks earlier, they could have been in the Wild Card mix.
Miguel Cairo is putting out an unusual lineup. With the all time strikeout record in sight, the Nats are benching James Wood with Chris Sale on the mound for the Braves. CJ Abrams is back after missing a game with a jammed
shoulder, but as the DH. Nasim Nunez is leading off and playing shortstop. While Daylen Lile avoided serious injury, he is not ready to go back in the lineup after an injury scare yesterday. MacKenzie Gore is on the mound.
The Braves top 3 of Profar, Olson and Acuna ran riot in DC last week. They will look to do that again. Rookie of the Year candidate Drake Baldwin is behind the plate. With Austin Riley still hurt, Nacho Alvarez will play third base. The Braves ace, Chris Sale will take the mound tonight in Atlanta.
