The Atlanta Braves will try to capture a series win on Sunday when they wrap up a three-game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Max Fried has been lights out in August and will look to continue his success on Sunday against a formidable Dodgers lineup.
Brian Snitker will play the matchups with Rafael Ortega making his first start of the season for the Braves in left field. Matt Joyce also gets the nod in right with Adeiny Hechavarria penciled in again at shortstop. Brian McCann will be behind the plate and will hit fifth.
