At this point, why not? The lineups are out for the third game of this four-game series between the Atlanta Braves and the Washington Nationals and the big story is that the Braves are now just a win away from going over .500 for the first time all season. They'll be doing it with a new leadoff hitter, as you've judged from the headline and will see below. Here's Atlanta's lineup: So that's a pretty interesting-looking lineup card.

Can Atlanta Braves get over .500 as Bryce Elder takes on Nationals?

15 hours ago | batterypower.com | Demetrius Bell

Brett Davis-Imagn Images The Atlanta Braves are .500 for the first time since the season started. This is great news! Hopefully this’ll also be the last day where they’ll be at .500, as Bryce Elder is starting for Atlanta as they look to take a series win over the Washington Nationals during this four-game series. Elder hasn’t been great lately but he also hasn’t been bad, either — he’s been perfectly (and frustratingly) average.

Photo by Jeff Dean/Getty Images The Atlanta Braves are back home after a quick-and-underwhelming trip to to Pittsburgh to face the Pirates. That series didn’t go particularly well for the Braves, which is why there’s probably plenty of motivation to make up for that letdown with a big series at home against a divisional foe. This’ll be Atlanta’s first time seeing the Nationals this season and apparently this is a good time to see Washington.

Comeback bid comes up short for Braves in 4-3 walk-off loss to Pirates

3 days ago | batterypower.com | Demetrius Bell

Photo by Justin K. Aller/Getty Images The Atlanta Braves dropped the series to the Pittsburgh Pirates 4-3 today, as they were unable to turn another late comeback into another late win. Instead, it was Pittsburgh doing the celebrating at the end as they ended up taking the victory in walk-off fashion. In what ended up being a pretty nasty trend for the Braves in this series, the offense showed little-to-no signs of life in the early-and-middle portion of this game.
