Atlanta Braves potential pitchers and lineups against Cleveland Guardians on April 26

Perhaps the best weekend series in baseball kicks off between teams with the best record in their respective league.

If you said the Braves were playing in a series between the two best teams in baseball, you’d probably assume it was against the Dodgers. Although the Braves have the top record in the NL, their opponent this weekend is a surprise American League team that has replicated the Braves’ success in 2024.

Stephen Vogt, the Cleveland Guardians’ inaugural manager and a member of the 2021 Braves World Series squad, has led the team to an 18-7 start. Cleveland leads the MLB with a +49 run difference. The Braves trail them with a +44 run differential. It should make for an exciting series down in Atlanta this weekend.

Let’s check out the starting lineups and pitchers for tonight’s game.

Probable starting pitchers

Chris Sale (2-1, 4.38 ERA) has impressed in all four of his starts for the Braves. If he can eliminate the first-inning lead-off homers, his ERA will improve. Sale’s impressive mobility and velocity have demonstrated that he still has much left in the tank. And his 2.93 xFIP indicates that he is on his way to more positive results.

Logan Allen (3-0, 5.06 ERA) takes the mound for the Guardians in a rematch with the 1995 World Series champions. Cleveland has produced numerous great young pitchers throughout the years, and Allen hopes to be one of the next. His 2024 is off to a shaky start, and his poor swing-and-miss ability raises concerns against the Braves. Let’s hope the Braves follow their regular strategy against LHP and get to Allen early and frequently in this game.
