Cleveland Indians vs. Atlanta Braves

  • June 27th – June 29th
  • Turner Field

Terry Francona and the Cleveland Indians come to town in late June as the Braves prepare for the month of July in which they will only have 3 series at home. The Indians have not had a good year, and are recent trading partners with the Atlanta Braves as the teams exchanged Chris Johnson for Michael Bourn and Nick Swisher.

It’s unclear if any of those players will be on each team’s roster come next season. Regardless, it’s not often that we have a rematch of the 1995 World Series so despite any dearth of competition at this point of next season between the two clubs, at the very least it will conjure up memories of the Atlanta Braves only World Series championship and another reminder of Cleveland’s futility in big games. Hopefully, it’ll also make up for last year’s Eastern Conference Finals. Take that Lebron!
