Atlanta Braves

Contrary to their opponents, the Atlanta Braves have struggled recently, registering just one win in their last five games. Their home record isn’t impressive either, standing at 26-29.

Their recent form, combined with their underwhelming home record, makes this game a challenging one for the Braves.
