The Braves are on the road but are sending out one of their top pitchers Chris Sale. He has 33 strikeouts on the season, while Hancock only has 19 for Seattle. Sale has the lower ERA and is coming off a strong seven-inning showing where he only allowed one run in a win over the AL Central-leading Guardians. Atlanta has a strong offense and is second in the majors in batting average with the team hitting .272 as a whole,

Seattle has relied on their pitching staff to win games, but that will not work for long against the talented lineup Atlanta has. The Braves get the win here this afternoon as Seattle is just 4-7 in days games as well.
