Although all eyes are on the trade deadline, there is still baseball to be played.
The Braves will trot out Dallas Keuchel to hopefully neutralize a pesky Nationals lineup that has helped them claw their way back into playoff contention. The Nats will counter with Patrick Corbin, who will be facing a Braves lineup that is stacked with righties.
Austin Riley gets the nod in left field, and it would be nice to see him take advantage of the opportunity. With Adam Duvall and Ender Inciarte back in the Majors, Riley will have to perform his starts, or he risks potential demotion back to Gwinnett to get his swing back on track.
