Key Storylines to Watch
Pitching Form: The Braves will give the start to Erick Fedde in this contest. Fedde joins the Braves from the St. Louis Cardinals. He is 3-10 with a 5.22 ERA and will hope that a change of scenery will help him pitch better going forward. The Royals will start Seth Lugo. Lugo is 7-5 with a 2.95 ERA for the year.
Bullpen Usage: Both bullpens had their share of struggles in the opening game of this series. The final score of that game was 10-7 and relief pitchers on both sides had trouble getting outs on a consistent basis.
Team Momentum: The Braves snapped an extended losing streak with their win over the Royals on Monday. They will look to build on that result to move closer to the .500 mark for the year. Kansas City has lost two of its last three games.

Final Thoughts
The Braves are an interesting play to me in the betting markets on Tuesday night. On one hand, we could see Erick Fedde’s struggles continue on the bump this season. On the other, a change of scenery could be the best thing for Fedde on the hill right now. I will lean toward the latter being the case and take the Braves to win what should be an interesting game from KC.
