As Tuesday arrives, a crucial early-season series awaits the Braves. The Phillies come to town, living up to their reputation as one of the best teams in baseball to start the season. Meanwhile, Atlanta is still working through some early struggles, and facing the Phillies now feels like an even bigger challenge than it did just a few weeks ago.
However, with a few days of rest and Chris Sale taking the mound against Zach Wheeler, the Braves have a chance to gain some momentum with a much-needed win on Tuesday. The offense has surprisingly performed well against top-tier pitchers this season, so if they can find early success, a victory could be in the cards.
