The Atlanta Braves are currently in a tight race for the final National League wild-card spot, tying with the New York Mets at 77-64 after a recent win against the Toronto Blue Jays. Braves manager Brian Snitker emphasizes a focus on winning each game rather than the standings, as rookie Spencer Schwellenbach prepares for his first start against the Blue Jays. Toronto, struggling with a four-game losing streak, is looking to regain momentum with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. leading the offense. Despite a strong pitching performance from the Braves, Max Fried's recent inconsistency poses a challenge against the Blue Jays' lineup. Historically, Toronto has dominated the matchup, winning nine consecutive games against Atlanta, and aims to play spoiler to the Braves' playoff aspirations. The teams meet for the second time this season, with both vying for crucial victories in the closing weeks of the season.
