St. Louis Cardinals vs. Atlanta Braves
- April 8th-April 10th
- Turner Field
The St. Louis Cardinals are the class of the National League this year and are an astounding 36 games over .500 with 4 weeks left to go in the season. Former Atlanta Braves right-fielder Jason Heyward has had a great year for the Red Birds, but it is uncertain if he will re-sign in the Arch City or will take his talents elsewhere for a more lucrative deal.
It’s very rare that the Atlanta Braves get to see the Cardinals so early in the season, let alone at home. Always a dangerous road team, it’s imperative for the Atlanta Braves to take this series to get the season started off on the right foot. If the Braves can right the ship and continue to develop as a team, this should make for an exciting early season series.
