Tuesday September 14th – 7:10 SportSouth
Washington Nationals (60-84) vs Atlanta Braves (82-62)
What to Watch For: The Braves will look to keep rolling against the Nationals tonight as this is a series that is pretty much a must win if not a must sweep for Atlanta. They are desperately trying to stay in the hunt for the Eastern Division crown as well as trying to maintain their lead in the wild card standings.
Livan Hernandez is 1-1 in three starts against the Braves this season and has struggled mightily against Martin Prado who is hitting over .500 against him. . Jurrjens will be looking to bounce back from a very rough start in his last outing against the Cardinals.
