Imagine a hotter team than this Atlanta Braves team. You can't.
The Atlanta Braves have won seven straight games, their third such streak in the last twenty-five games. Their offense remains one of the best in baseball, especially in the first inning, where they have more five run first innings in the last week (three) than the next closest team, the Arizona Diamondbacks, have on the entire season (two).
Atlanta's trying to make it eight straight games as they look for a series sweep against Miami this afternoon in Truist Park.
Lineup for the Atlanta Braves on Sunday, July 2nd
Here's how the Braves will line up for the contest:
As is customary for a day game after a late afternoon/night game, Atlanta's swapping catchers and going with Travis d'Arnaud behind the plate in lieu of Sean Murphy, who started the first two games of the series.
