Game Preview: Washington Nationals vs Atlanta Braves
By Editorial Staff
Monday September 13th – 7:10 SportSouth
Washington Nationals (60-83) vs Atlanta Braves (82-62)
What to watch For: Washington comes into this series having lost five in a row and seven of their last ten games. The Braves desperately need this series if they are going to keep pace with the Phillies and maintain their slim advantage in the wildcard. You can look over the numbers and the Braves should win this series but the numbers don’t tend to mean a lot as the Nationals have constantly found ways to make things hard on the Braves. With the season winding down, all of these last few games are very important. Especially with six games still remaining against the Phillies.
