What is the story about?
The Atlanta Braves and the Washington Nationals are facing on in a battle of MLB’s top two scoring offenses. It is highly likely that no one truly predicted that these two teams would have scored the most runs this far into the season.
The biggest difference between these two teams is that the Braves have also had excellent pitching, whereas the Nationals have been terrible. Bryce Elder is set to take the mound with a top ten ERA of 2.01 and his opponent today, Miles Mikolas has a bottom four ERA of pitchers
with at least 40.0 innings pitched with an ERA of 6.91.
On paper, the Braves have the clear advantage in this game, but nothing is ever guaranteed in MLB.
First pitch is at 7:15 EDT.
