Key Storylines
- Pitching Form: Nathan Eovaldi has been exceptional this season. He has a 1.58 ERA and a 7-3 record. His dominance on the mound has been a significant factor in the Rangers’ success. But he was scratched from his last start on Sunday and his health will be something to monitor here. Joey Wentz gets the start for the Braves. He has a 5.71 ERA and may struggle against a potent Rangers lineup.
- Bullpen Usage: The Braves’ bullpen has had its challenges this season. They should struggle to compete with a Rangers’ bullpen that ranks third in the league in bullpen ERA.
- Recent Team Streaks: The Rangers have won three straight games and four of their last five. Atlanta has lost two games in a row and has dropped four of five.

Final Thoughts
It is sad to say but the Atlanta Braves have been the biggest disappointment in baseball this year. They have been incapble of winning on the road consistently and their pitching staff has not been up to par. Here, I expect Eovaldi to outperform Wentz and for the elite bullpen of the Rangers to help them shut the door late. I will take the Rangers to cover the runline as a favorite in this interleague matchup.
