Tonight’s matchup is the second game of the series, as Atlanta lost 8-4 in the series opener yesterday. So, the Braves are looking to bounce back and even the series with a win this evening.

Atlanta lost the series opener because their starting pitcher Charlie Morton had a rough outing. He conceded eight runs and 12 hits in less than six innings of work, which ballooned his ERA to 4.29. So, the Braves will need a good performance from their starting pitcher Max Fried tonight.

The Braves will also need high quality performances from their position players, as they will not have 2023 National League MVP Ronald Acuña Jr. in the lineup. He sustained an ACL injury on Sunday, which will make him miss the remainder of the season. This is a massive loss for Atlanta, but the team has plenty of players that can step up and keep the team competitive this year.

Washington enters this game with a lackluster 24-28 record, but they have won three of their last four games. So, the Nationals will look to build on their recent momentum tonight.

Nationals shortstop CJ Abrams will be imperative in this game, as he boasts a .261 batting average and leads the team with nine home runs. Abrams hit two of those home runs in the past two games, and he was 2-4 in yesterday’s series opener. So, he is currently swinging a hot bat for Washington and helping them inch closer to .500 this year.
