Atlanta Braves vs. Washington Nationals: Nationals Hailing in Confidence After Defeating New York Mets

On Monday, the Atlanta Braves begin a three-game series against the Washington Nationals at home. Last season, Atlanta finished with an overall record of 88-73 and a home record of 42-38. The Braves hit 3.3 extra-base hits per game on average, with 1.5 home runs. Last season, Washington went 65-97 overall and 30-51 on the road. In the 2021 season, the Nationals scored 4.5 runs per game while allowed 5.1.

For their upcoming game, the Braves would be missing out on many formidable players from their lineup, which includes Jay Jackson, Luke Jackson, Ronald Acuna, Mike Soroka, and Kirby Yates. Austin Riley would be in the highlight of leading his side to a decent start in the absence of Acuna. After two back-to-back games against Cincinnati Reds, the Braves lost their last game by a margin of 3-6. For the upcoming game, the Braves would likely be the favorites of winning.
