Lineup, how to watch the Atlanta Braves go for the early series victory against the New York Yankees on Tuesday evening

The Atlanta Braves started the homestand exactly how they hoped - by absoluting walloping the New York Yankees in an easy, 11-3 victory to open the series. Atlanta's looking to go ahead and secure the series early behind Bryce Elder, who is hoping he can "get right" against this Yankees offense.

Atlanta's running back the same configuration they went with last night - Michael Harris II in Ozzie's #2 spot, Ozuna up at #5, with Eddie Rosario and the catcher spot (filled by Sean Murphy tonight) at #6 & #7, respectively, and Nicky Lopez getting his 2nd consecutive start at 2nd base and batting 9th.

Pitching Matchup for the Atlanta Braves and New York Yankees on Tuesday, August 15th

Getting the ball for the Yankees is RHP Luis Severino. A former top prospect who signed an early extension and wasn't quite able to live up to it. Severino is 2-7 with a 806 ERA in his 14 appearances this season. He's really struggled with homers, having given up eighteen in only 63.2 innings this season. New York's attempted to put an "opener" in front of him recently, but it hasn't really helped - he only made it through the 2nd and 3rd innings against the White Sox the last time out, with five hits and four runs allowed.

Facing off against New York is RHP Bryce Elder. The 2023 All-Star has struggled after the Midsummer Classic, having given up five or more runs and being knocked out in the fifth (or earlier) in three of those starts. On the season, he's 8-4 with a 3.64 ERA and 97 strikeouts in 131 innings.
