The Atlanta Braves are currently one game back of the Brewers for 2nd spot in the NL wildcard race. After losing to the Marlins on Friday night, the Braves will be determined to win this mini 3 games series 2-1 with wins today and Sunday. Atlanta has their best two starters going over the weekend in Alex Wood and Julio Teheran.
Braves lefty Alex Wood gets the nod tonight and he has been very consistent this season. He is 7-9 with a 2.71 ERA and 1.10 WHIP over 20 starts. Wood has allowed 2 ER or fewer in 7 of his last 9 starts and opposing teams hit just .190 against Wood in the month of August.
The Braves are in a ‘Must-Win’ situation for the remainder of the season and will be looking at closing the 7 game gap between themselves and the Washington Nationals for 1st place in the NL East.
Miami sends Nathan Eovaldi to the mound tonight and the righty has struggled in 15 starts in South Beach in 2014. He is 3-5 with a 4.79 ERA and 1.32 WHIP in those starts at Marlins Park. Eovaldi has allowed 11 ER over his last 15 IP with opponents hitting well over .300 against him since mid-August.
Atlanta Braves - 114
