Freddie Freeman, coming off one of the best seasons of his career, has fared decently well against Brandon Woodruff in his career – compiling a slash line of .333/.333/.667 in nine at-bats. Freeman has a hit in six of his last eight games.
Joc Pederson had a pinch hit home run last night, marking his third home run in the last five games. He has three career hits against Woodruff with two of those knocks ending up over the fence.

The Brewers are 12-13 over their past 25 games with a zero run differential (105-105).
Milwaukee is 46-36 at home and 20-19 vs. LHPs.
Right-hander Brandon Woodruff (9-10, 2.56 ERA, 0.96 WHIP) has allowed two or fewer runs in four of his last six starts.

3B Eduardo Escobar, who compiled an .808 OPS over the last month, extended his hitting streak to five after going 1-for-3 last night. He has hit safely in 8 of 10 games.
Verdict
Expect a pitching duel as both pitchers have been rock solid this year and each team has had their troubles at the plate.
Atlanta is in very good form and Fried has been dealing lately. Meanwhile, Milwaukee is not in great form and the Brewers have struggled to produce runs when Woodruff has been on the mound this year. Plus, Woodruff has been susceptible to the long ball recently.
