Nats vs Braves: Hot Offense, Questionable Pitchers | Washington Nationals News

Despite being favored, the Braves’ win streak could be tested against a Nationals lineup on fire, especially if Luis Garcia Jr. returns. But don’t count out Mikolas, who’s been awful this season — his stats aren’t fluky. With both offenses hot and pitchers shaky, expect fireworks under Atlanta’s humid skies.
