The Guardians limp into Truist Park at 7:20 p.m. ET—NBC/Peacock's cameras ready to capture every awkward swing—carrying a batting average that looks like a typo (.219) and a 3.41 ERA that's somehow keeping them afloat. Atlanta counters with its league-best 2.50 ERA and a .258 lineup that's already parked 20 homers, so expect the stadium's drum section to be drowned out by scoreboard fireworks.
Tanner Bibee (0-1, 3.29) gets the thankless task of taming Ronald Acuña & Co. on national TV, while Chris Sale (2-1, 0.88 WHIP) looks to add more zeroes to Cleveland's anemic hit total. With Cleveland's bullpen already juggling three relievers on the IL, the Guardians will need Bibee to pitch like it's October if they want to avoid becoming the Sunday night punchline. Fire up StreakChat and decide whether the bats or the Braves blink first.
