Washington Nationals vs. Atlanta Braves
- August 18th – August 21st
- Turner Field
The Washington Nationals have become the Atlanta Braves most hated rival in the National League East over the course of the last half decade. Both teams went back and forth in the division for the better part of 5 years, though these season is an exception, of course.
Perhaps most of the animosity directed towards the Nats by Braves fans is because of Brave Killer Bryce Harper and his .426 average against the club this past season. In this late season contest between two rivals, the three-game set will be as heated as ever, regardless of divisional positioning at this point.
