MLB Network will host Wednesday’s matchup between the New York Yankees and the Atlanta Braves, with first pitch set for 7:20 p.m. ET. The game will take place at Truist Park in Atlanta, Georgia, and will also air on Amazon Prime Video in the Yankees market and on Bally Sports South in the Braves market. Randy Vasquez (2-1, 1.89 ERA) will take the mound for New York, and Charlie Morton (11-10, 3.71) will pitch for Atlanta.
Say this for the 2023 Yankees: They keep finding ways to locate a fresh new rock bottom. Last Sunday’s series-ending loss to the Marlins — in which the bullpen melted down with five runs allowed in the ninth — was followed by two consecutive demolitions at the hands of the Braves this week. New York is now 6.5 games out of the third and final AL Wild Card spot, down three members of their starting rotation (Nestor Cortes, Carlos Rodon and Domingo German) and with another pitcher in Luis Severino who’s been among the league’s worst of late. Oh, and their lineup ranks in the bottom third of most statistical categories, even with Aaron Judge back in tow.
Atlanta has cooled off a bit during the second half, but they retain baseball’s best record — and most dangerous lineup, even with Ozzie Albies now on the IL with a hamstring strain. If any team is positioned to withstand a loss like that, it’s the Braves, with career years from Ronald Acuna Jr. and Matt Olson in addition to stars like Austin Riley and Sean Murphy. Pitching depth remains a bit of a concern ahead of October, especially with Morton and Bryce Elder struggling of late.
The Braves are -205 moneyline favorites at DraftKings Sportsbook, with the Yankees coming in at +170. The total is set at 10.
