Two World Series contenders go head to head at Truist Park on Tuesday night, as the Braves host the Rays in the first game of a vital series.
Both sides are currently enjoying four game leads at the top of their respective divisions, but both will come into the series slightly short of their best form, following some disappointing recent results.
The Braves have lost four of their last seven games, a run of results that has included shared series with the Phillies and Nationals. Worryingly for Atlanta, the Phillies appear to be finding their best form of the season, so unless the Braves can get back to their best, they could see their four game lead wiped out in the final weeks of the regular season.
The Rays have also lost four of their last seven, but their narrow series win over the Rangers at the weekend has kept them in the driving seat for the AL East title and a first round playoff bye.

Our Atlanta Braves vs Tampa Bay Rays Prediction
The bookies have the Braves as slight favorites, but we are backing the Rays to pull off the win and cement their place at the top of the AL East standings.
A key reason for that prediction is the form of Rays' starting pitcher Freddy Peralta, who has conceded just one run in his last two starts for Tampa.
In contrast, Braves starter AJ Smith-Shawver has failed to impress in his four starts this season, and given the Rays' impressive batting lineup, he could be in for another tough outing on Tuesday night.
Our prediction for Atlanta Braves vs Tampa Bay Rays is: Rays to win.
