Washington is coming off one of their worst series all season, getting swept by the St. Louis Cardinals. At 17-24, they are currently sitting in fourth place in the National League East and have fans wondering what the future holds. A team with great young talent in MacKenzie Gore, CJ Abrams, and James Wood is a fun team poised for future success. Going up against a tough Atlanta Braves team will be a challenge, as Atlanta is starting to figure things out offensively.
Atlanta is coming off a series loss against the lowly Pittsburgh Pirates. Since their horrendous start to the season, the offense and pitching is starting to click with key players returning from injury.
