Conversely, the Braves will counter with right-hander Hurston Waldrep, aiming to tackle a Yankees lineup that ranks 2nd in team home runs and 9th in team batting average.

Offensively, the Yankees will rely on the recent form of Aaron Judge, who was their best hitter last week. Judge has posted impressive numbers, including a .313 batting average and 1.076 OPS, along with 2 home runs and 4 RBIs over his last five games. On the other side, Austin Riley has been red hot for the Braves, with a .500 batting average and 1.775 OPS over the past week, with 3 home runs and 6 RBIs in six games.
