How to watch the MLB game tonight, on TV, on time

The Atlanta Braves take on the Baltimore Orioles tonight at 5:35 p.m. CT on Bally Sports South. Fans can watch this game for free online using the free trials offered by DirecTV Stream and Fubo TV.

The Braves started this season with an impressive 26-13 record and were contending for first place in the National League East. However, they have gone 9-15 over the past month and seen their record fall to 35-28. So, Atlanta is trying to turn things around by winning Game 1 of the series against the Orioles tonight.

The Braves will have to up their game without last year’s National League MVP Ronald Acuna Jr., as he will miss the remainder of the season due to injury. This will force other Atlanta players to step up their offense, including Matt Olson.

Olson played a vital role in the Braves’ offense last season, as he hit a league-leading 54 home runs. However, Olson has struggled at the plate this year. He’s only hit nine home runs this season and his batting average is .239. So Atlanta needs Olson to find his swing quickly for the team to make the playoffs this season.

The Braves will have their hands full in this series, as the Orioles are 43-22 and have won four straight. Baltimore has one of the best offenses in professional baseball this year, led by shortstop Gunnar Henderson and catcher Adley Rutschman.

Henderson leads the Orioles with 21 home runs and a .375 on-base percentage this season, despite being just 22 years old. So Henderson has plenty of time to improve and become an even bigger threat at the plate.

Rutschman leads Baltimore with a .306 batting average and 49 RBIs, which has helped the Orioles score the most runs of any MLB team this season. If the Orioles can continue to play at a high level of play, then they will be nearly impossible to beat.
