The Braves started this season with an impressive 26-13 record and were competing for first place in the National League East. However, they have gone 9-15 over the past month and have seen their record fall to 35-28. So, Atlanta is trying to turn things around by winning the series opener against the Orioles tonight.

The Braves will have to improve their play without last year’s National League MVP Ronald Acuna Jr. because he will miss the rest of the season due to injury. This will force other Atlanta players to step up offensively, especially Matt Olson.

Olson was imperative to the Braves offense last season, as he hit a league-leading 54 home runs. However, Olson has struggled mightily at the plate this year. He has only hit nine home runs this season and his batting average is a lackluster .239. So, Atlanta needs Olson to find his swing quickly for the team to compete in the playoffs this season.

The Braves will have their hands full in this series, as the Orioles boast a 43-22 record and have won four games in a row. Baltimore has one of the best scoring offenses in professional baseball this year, which has been led by shortstop Gunnar Henderson and catcher Adley Rutschman.

Henderson leads the Orioles with 21 home runs and a .375 on base percentage this season, while only being 22 years old. So, Henderson has plenty of time to improve and become an even bigger threat at the plate.

Rutschman leads Baltimore with a .306 batting average and 49 RBI, which has helped the Orioles score the most runs out of all MLB teams this season. If the Orioles can continue their high level of play, then they are going to be nearly impossible to beat.
