Welcome back to the dead rubber portion of the 2019 regular season for the Atlanta Braves, where they are going to be facing the Kansas City Royals for one last time this season. The Braves are going to have to win tonight’s game to avoid being the only team on Kansas City’s schedule that failed to beat the Royals even once.
With that being said, the Braves probably aren’t too concerned about their potentially ignominious record against Kansas City since they are clearly in playoff preparation mode. Ronald Acuña Jr. is currently listed as day-to-day with a hip ailment, but it appears that this is being done purely as a precautionary measure.
