Reigning Cy Young Award winner Chris Sale is taking on Cy Young Award runner up Zack Wheeler in what could potentially be the pitching matchup of the year for the Atlanta Braves. The Phillies are 7-2 and with the Braves only securing one win this season, a win tonight could potentially set the tone that the Braves are still here to compete for the division title.
The Braves will have to improve on their National League worst .193 average with runners in scoring position if they want to stand a chance to score runs against Wheeler and his 1.38 ERA.
