Major League Baseball has several thrilling matchups scheduled for Friday, July 29. One of those MLB tilts sees the Arizona Diamondbacks (45-53) heading to Truist Park to take on the 2021 World Series-winning Atlanta Braves (59-31).
After being the hottest team in baseball for the majority of June and July, the Braves have started to slow down. Atlanta has dropped three of its last four contests and is looking to rebound following a 7-2 thumping at the hands of the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, the Diamondbacks are heading in the opposite dire ction. Playoffs are still a long shot, however, fans are feeling more optimistic now that Arizona has won six of its last seven games, including the most recent three straight.
Veteran southpaw Madison Bumgarner will begin the game for the Diamondbacks. Meanwhile, the Braves will send Kyle Wright to the mound, hoping that he can end their slumping ways.
