Braves Seek Postseason Spot in Tuesday Night Showdown Against Cubs

The matchup features Martín Pérez starting for Atlanta against Kevin Gausman, who was traded by the Cubs before the deadline. Broadcast on TBS at 7:40 p.m. EDT from Wrigley Field, this contest will determine whether either team can reduce their magic numbers through a win or if external factors like other series outcomes will assist them in reaching those thresholds.
