The Braves are looking to snap their losing streak and regain ground in the NL East, but they&#8217;ll have to overcome their depleted pitching staff. The Brewers, on the other hand, are riding a wave of momentum and hoping to capitalize on the Braves&#8217; vulnerabilities. With two solid pitchers taking the mound in Frankie Montas and Charlie Morton, this game promises to be a tight contest.
