India's consistent performance across these games underscores his importance to the Reds' lineup. With an overall batting average of .250 and contributing to runs in each game, his ability to get on base and drive in runs will be crucial against the Braves.


On the Braves' side, outfielder Eddie Rosario has stood out with an impressive batting average of .667 in one of the previous matches, alongside an OPS of 1.417. His ability to connect with the ball and generate scoring opportunities makes him a key player for Atlanta.
