Washington Nationals and Atlanta Braves are all set to battle it out in their next MLB game. The first match will take place on August 17, and it will be a three-game series.

Washington Nationals Preview

The Nationals are three games under 500 and they really need to work on their game percentage, though the team has bagged two out of three games in their last matches. This is their first series of the season in which they will be playing against the Braves. They scored 21 runs in winning two of their last three games while only scoring three runs in the loss. They avoided dropping to the basement of the NL East in their last game, which was a 6-5 win over the Baltimore Orioles. Nationals scored three runs in their first inning and their star player Juan Soto was 2 for 3 with two RBI. Anibel Sanchez has been hit hard in all three of his starts. According to Stat Salt, Sanchez only lasted two 2/3 innings in an 11-6 loss to the New York Mets and he has surrendered 14 runs in only 13 innings of work. 

Atlanta Braves Preview

After a four-game skid, the Braves have won two of their last three games. Two out of three games they won were against Miami Marlins in their last series. They have won seven of their last nine games against Washington Nationals and have also beaten them in four out of five home games. Brave's four players have at least 12 RBI led by Dansby Swanson and the Braves' lineup ranks fifth in the Majors in runs scored. According to Sports Chat, the Braves will send out Touki Toussaint. This season, Toussaint is 0-1 in four games (three starts) with 23 strikeouts in 17.1 innings of work. In 88 innings over his MLB career, Toussaint is 6-2 with a 5.42 ERA and 100 strikeouts.
