Atlanta came into the season with one of the better offenses in the National League but the braves bats have gone silent to start the year. The Braves were able to score just three runs in three games against the Phillies over the weekend with all three runs coming vial solo shots. Washing is coming off a Covid break and should have a majority of their players to start the season. The Braves Smyly went only five innings in two of his five starts last season, The Braves will try to get their bats going against Max Scherzer, which won't be easy. Scherzer will be well-rested for this one and you won't see a line like this for Scherzer...I will take my post-COVID break chances on Mad Max.

Play on Washington.
