The Braves will look to a division rival to help kick their offense back into gear.
After an unsavory West Coast road trip that saw the Braves’ bats largely kept in check, they return home to play a two-game set against a Mets team that is primarily hoping to avoid injuries.
Since neither the Braves nor the Nationals have capitalized on their mutually less-than-stellar play, there is still a tie for first in the National League East. With the Nats traveling to New York to play the Yankees, this could be a good chance for the Braves to reclaim the division lead.
