Kill spot here for the much superior Braves against the Nationals, who are 1-12 in their last 13 games and just got swept in a doubleheader by the Mariners on Wednesday.
The Braves are going with Kyle Wright, who is 10-4 with a 2.97 ERA and 1.15 WHIP. Wright's road ERA is 2.75. He's backed by a top-five Atlanta bullpen that has a 3.07 ERA.
Contrast this with the Nationals, who have a terrible bullpen, horrendous defense and are starting Anibal Sanchez. The last time Sanchez pitched in the majors was 2020 when he compiled a 6.62 ERA in 11 games. Sanchez had a 4.02 ERA in 15 2/3 minor league innings in preparation of this start.
Atlanta ranks No. 2 in homers and fifth in runs.
