Team Previews
Atlanta Braves
The Braves have shown power this season, ranking fifth in the National League with a .255 batting average. Their offensive lineup features standout players like Austin Riley, who has 22 doubles and 42 RBIs this season. However, they have struggled at the plate recently, evidenced by their .208 batting average over the last ten games. The pitching staff leads the league with a 3.52 ERA, but Bryce Elder's recent form could be a concern as he carries a 6.35 ERA into this matchup. The team will need to improve its hitting to support their strong pitching if they want to turn their recent fortunes around.
Milwaukee Brewers
Milwaukee has been a formidable opponent, especially at home. They rank 21st in runs scored with 444, but their pitching has been exceptional, ranking second in the league with a 3.51 ERA. The Brewers have relied on the strong performances of players like William Contreras and Jackson Chourio, who have combined for a significant portion of their offensive output. However, the team is facing injuries to key players such as Christian Yelich and Trevor Megill, which may impact their overall performance. Despite these challenges, the Brewers have shown resilience, going 7-3 in their last ten games.
