If there’s any team best suited to help May find himself again, the Braves may be it. They’ve been baseball’s worst offensive team since the start of June. The Braves’ .641 on-base plus slugging percentage as a team in that span is 41 points below the next-worst team and 100 below the league average.
May has struggled historically vs. the Braves and at Truist Park, though both in small sample sizes.
What to know
Atlanta will start right-hander Hurston Waldrep (0-0, 0.00 ERA), who will make his second big-league appearance of the season after he missed the first two months with elbow surgery. Waldrep hasn’t thrown more than 4 2/3 innings this year, and that came in a minor league rehab start.
The Cardinals are 44-39 and have lost five of seven. Wednesday marked the Redbirds’ sixth game in their last eight scoring three or fewer runs.
The Braves are 50-34 and have lost seven of nine. Their five runs Wednesday were the team’s most in six games.
