The Atlanta Braves are looking to recover from another frustrating series loss as they prepare for a three-game matchup against the Los Angeles Angels. The Angels, despite a 41-42 record, have a disappointing -49 run differential, while the Braves stand at 38-45 with a much better +12 differential. The Braves will start Grant Holmes, who has excelled recently with a 3.02 ERA over nine starts. The Angels will counter with Tyler Anderson, who has struggled this season with a 4.41 ERA and a poor June performance.
The Angels come into the series with a 41-42 record but pretty awful -49 run differential. For comparison, the Braves are 38-45 with a +12 run differential.
Holmes has pitched well all season long and especially so in recent weeks, with an ERA of 3.02 over his last nine starts, and limiting walks and homers.
Anderson is coming off a solid start against the Red Sox, but his June ERA was 6.93, indicating he's been vulnerable, especially to strong lineups.
With a solid start from Holmes and an underperforming Anderson, the Braves have a potential opportunity to bounce back from recent losses.
