Braves Need Morton to Deliver

Charlie Morton is on the mound on Tuesday night for The Atlanta Braves, and this team desperately needs him to take over the game. Morton has gone just 3-3 with a 5.28 ERA to begin the season, and his inconsistencies mirror this team as a hole..

Dansby Swanson leads the team with a .269 batting average and 24 RBIs, while Austin Riley has belted 12 home runs. Atlanta still has a number of players who haven’t turned things on in 2022, and that’s been another issue.

Atlanta is hitting .232 as a team, and they need to find a way to provide some offense. The Braves have already dug themselves a deep hole. Though second in the NL East, they rail the New York Mets by 9½ games.

Diamondbacks Have Some Power

Arizona manager Torey Lovullo was pleased with the effort Monday night, saying, “It was just a really, really good game for us after four tough games.” The Arizona Diamondbacks have plenty of good, young players in the mix, and they continue to compile some impressive wins along the way.

Hector Castellanos is set to start Tuesday night. He’s gone just 3-2 with a 5.22 ERA. Arizona still has a team ERA of over four runs per game. It must find a way to get better pitching if they are going to improve as a team.

Christian Walker has 12 home runs to lead the way for the Diamondbacks, but this team has  power through the lineup. Arizona is hitting just .219 as a team, but they have the ability to score in a hurry.
