The Braves offense remains one of the most dangerous lineups in baseball, and Kevin Gausman's recent stat line looks better than the underlying matchup. Strong outings against light-hitting teams like the Marlins and Pirates don't carry much weight when stepping up in class, and this feels like a spot where he regresses closer to the form he showed earlier in the season.

A big reason for that is Ronald Acuña Jr. The Braves star enters on a four-game hitting streak and has recorded multiple hits in back-to-back games. He's seeing the ball well, consistently making hard contact, and is in a prime position to clear 1.5 total bases while helping power Atlanta to a win.

Drew Rasmussen vs. the New York Yankees is a mismatch on paper — the righty is 4-1 with a 1.03 ERA and 51 punchouts in eight career games against New York. Coming off a thrilling comeback win on Friday, the division-leading Tampa Bay Rays are primed to keep the foot on the gas behind their dynamic arm to create more separation in the AL East.
