Tonight and this weekend, the Atlanta Braves (10-14) travel to Phoenix, Arizona, to take on the Arizona Diamondbacks (14-11) at Chase Field.

I remember when the Braves went 89-73 in the 2024 MLB season, almost knocking the Mets out of the '24 Wildcard race. The 2025 Braves are a shadow of their former selves — a team once known for its dominance, now barely resembling a playoff contender, sitting at the bottom of the NL East.

The Diamondbacks are second-to-last in the NL West, but that's due to strong seasons from the Padres (17–8), Giants (17–9), and Dodgers (16–9). Don't be fooled by the standings — the Diamondbacks have one of the best offenses in the 2025 MLB, ranking 3rd among teams for runs per game (5.45).

For game 1 in the series tonight, the Braves are having left-handed pitcher Chris Sale (6.17 ERA) take the mound to match the Diamondbacks' right-handed starter Zac Gallen (5.90 ERA).

Who’s Winning the Arizona Diamondbacks vs. the Atlanta Braves Series?

The Braves are projected to win game 1 in the series as the away team at the Diamondbacks' stadium. I think the Braves have it here tonight — Atlanta has had a bit of a turnaround and are currently 6-1 in their last seven games. But...the Braves are still missing Profar, and the Diamondbacks are playing at home.

It's too close to call. The series is going 2-1 in favor of either the Diamondbacks or the Braves.
