The Atlanta Braves (16-8) are looking to extend their lead in the National League East this Wednesday, April 22, as they continue their road series against the Washington Nationals (11-13). Atlanta currently holds a comfortable five-game cushion atop the division, but Washington made a statement on Tuesday night by snapping the Braves' recent win streak with a dominant 11-4 victory. The Nationals hope to carry that offensive momentum into tonight’s matchup.

Atlanta’s high-powered offense is led by Matt Olson, who ranks first on the team in hits, and Dominic Smith, who enters tonight’s game on a seven-game hitting streak. Meanwhile, Ozzie Albies has recorded a hit in four straight contests. Washington will rely on their bats to repeat yesterday's success against a young Braves arm.

The pitching matchup features a rookie right-hander against a veteran looking for a reset. The Braves turn to Didier Fuentes (0-0), who was impressive in his first start, allowing only one run over four innings. He faces Nationals righty Zack Littell (0-2), who has struggled significantly with a 7.11 ERA through his first four starts of 2026. You can witness this NL East battle streaming live on Fubo.

The defining storyline for tonight is whether Washington can capitalize on Littell's opportunity to bounce back against a team that ranks second in MLB in runs scored. For the Braves, the focus is on rookie Fuentes and his ability to navigate a Nationals lineup that proved yesterday they can erupt at any moment. Fubo is your home for the complete broadcast.
