The Atlanta Braves and their scorching hot offense are taking on the surprisingly good Miami Marlins tonight as they look to extend their division lead.
The Braves are scoring runs at a pace that only three teams in MLB are doing at a higher rate, and only the Dodgers have hit more HRs. No Braves player has more than six at-bats against the Marlins’ starter Eury Pérez, yet have four HRs against him in that limited action. Tonight is primed for another offensive explosion, but we know these Braves can be feast or famine at times when it comes to offense.
Grant Holmes is on the mound for the Braves, and has looked great so far this season. The Braves are in a good spot to win tonight. These are the exact type of games they need to win if they want to re-claim the division crown this season.
First pitch is at 7:15 EDT
