The Braves are red hot right now and have been running through the Nats each time they have played in the past week or so. Now, the Nats will try to fight back and finally get a win over the Braves. With the season wrapping up, getting a win over a divisional foe would feel good.
The Nats lineup cannot be described as anything other than odd. Luis Garcia Jr. is playing first base for the first time in his career. CJ Abrams is in the 3 hole tonight, with Nasim Nunez leading off. Nunez has been red hot lately. Daylen Lile is back in the fold after missing yesterday due to injury. Brad Lord will get the start for the Nats as he looks to put a bow on a solid rookie year.
The Braves have a much more conventional lineup. They are only making one personnel change and it is a forced change. Ozzie Albies got hurt last night, so his season is over. That means Brett Wisely will start at second base for the Braves. Otherwise, the same cast of characters are in the lineup. Hurston Waldrep will get the start tonight in Atlanta.

This game is spiced up by Luis Garcia Jr’s debut at first base. Daylen Lile being back in the lineup is also a big positive. He is the best player on the team right now. Hopefully the Nats can slow down the red hot Braves. Follow along down below and let’s go Nats!
