How to Live Stream the Game
First pitch is slated for 7:20 p.m. ET at SunTrust Park. The game will be broadcast on FSSO and MASN, while live streaming will be available on the MLB streams subreddit.
Nationals Lineup
The Nationals have been one of the most disappointing teeams in baseball through the first third of the season. Among the reasons for their terrible season has been their anemic offense, which is surprisingly just 17th in baseball in runs scored.
Despite having an excellent 1-2-3 punch in the rotation of Max Scherzer-Stephen Strasburg-Patrick Corbin, the Nats bullpen has been by far the worst in baseball (with a 7.12 ERA), which is tough to fathom given how many innings the rotation is able to deliver on the whole (second in the MLB in IP).
Strasburg will pitch tonight for Washington, who is in the midst of an excellent season with a 3.25 ERA and 0.99 WHIP.
Braves Lineup
The Braves are proving last season was no fluke, though despite their success still sit 1.5 games behind the first-place Phillies. Ronald Acuña Jr. is also proving the doubters wrong, registering an excellent .277/.368/.480 slash line in his sophomore season following his Rookie of the Year campaign.
Freddie Freeman has been mashing as usual, with a spectacular .983 OPS and .317 average. The addition of rookie sensation Austin Riley has also given Atlanta a boost, as he's delivered an eye-opening .688 slugging percentage.
Breakout star Max Fried will take the mound for the Braves, looking to improve on his 7-2 record.
