Atlanta has won the past six meetings with the Royals, who have scored only one run the first two games of the series and they have scored more than two runs just twice in 10 games. The Braves won 2-1 on Saturday when Travis D'Arnaud hit a walk-off home run with one out in the ninth inning and they moved one game ahead of New York and Arizona in the wild-card race. Kansas City still can get the No. 5 seed with a win and a Detroit loss, but the Royals have stopped hitting. The Braves are peaking at the right time with a five-game win streak while allowing a total of just eight runs. The Royals have lost nine of 12 and today's starter, Alec Marsh, didn't last through the third inning his last start on Sept. 18 in a loss to the Tigers. Take the Braves.
