In their last game against the Boston Red Sox, the Braves struggled offensively, managing only one hit throughout the game. This lack of offensive firepower resulted in a shutout loss, highlighting an area that needs immediate attention if they hope to succeed against the Nationals. Despite this setback, it's worth noting that pitching has been a strong suit for Atlanta. Reynaldo López's impressive ERA of 1.727 demonstrates that when on form, Braves' pitchers can significantly hinder opposition scoring.


However, consistency remains key for Atlanta as they move forward. In another recent outing versus Boston Red Sox where they emerged victorious with eight runs from eight hits indicates potential in their batting lineup when everything clicks into place.
