Key Storylines
Pitching matchup
Hurston Waldrep has looked dominant in so far for the Braves. He has a stellar 1.02 ERA and 0.79 WHIP in 17.2 innings while allowing a .150 opponent average. He has emerged as a rising talent for a Braves team that has been disappointing otherwise in 2025.
Martín Pérez will make his fifth start of the season here. He has a solid 3.09 ERA and opponents are hitting .205 against him. He’s been effective but Perez faces a hot offense in a series where hitters have dominated so far.
Key Players
The bullpens are going to be the key players on both sides of this game. Both teams have been lit up by the opposing offenses throughout this series. That is only going to continue unless someone can get some outs from either bullpen.
Recent Team Streaks
- The Braves have won four of their last five games and got a win in Tuesday night’s thriller between these teams.

Final Thoughts
I have been thoroughly impressed by what we have seen from Hurston Waldrep so far this season. I don’t think we are going to see another 20-run game between these teams. Instead, I think that Atlanta controls this one throughout and covers the runline as a home favorite to secure the series win over the White Sox.
