​The Atlanta Braves have not posted a three-game winning streak since June 5-7, making this a timely opportunity to string together success after their 3-0 and 10-5 wins over Pittsburgh. With a road tilt at St. Louis looming, Atlanta could clinch three straight wins on the road if they carry their July momentum forward. In the month of July, Atlanta has gone 5-4 with an ERA ranking 21st at 5.33 and an offensive average sitting eighth at .264. The Braves have crossed the plate 61 times in July, which is the second-most runs in the majors for the month, but they’ve also surrendered 52, the third-most allowed.
St. Louis has stumbled to a 1-5 run in their last six games and opened July at 3-9. The Cardinals have managed to keep their pitching serviceable with a 3.89 ERA for the month, ranking 10th in the league. Offensively, St. Louis is hitting .229 (23rd) and their offense has scored more than four runs just once in their previous seven outings.
