Atlanta Braves vs New York Yankees Live Stream: How to Watch MLB

The Atlanta Braves have come close in back-to-back games but try to avoid getting swept against the New York Yankees on Sunday.

The New York Yankees go for the series sweep at home against the Atlanta Braves on Sunday afternoon. This is starting to feel like the 1999 World Series when New York swept Atlanta, or even a rematch of the ’96 series when the Yankees beat the Braves 4-2. At least Atlanta claimed the 1995 championship by beating Cleveland. New York will go for their fourth win in their last five games when they go for the sweep in this only series of the season against Atlanta. The Yankees are now 66-51 with a 29-25 home record. They still haven’t been able to make up much ground on the Tampa Bay Rays for the lead in the AL East standings. The Rays have won five straight and are still 4.5 games up on the Yankees. This series has been close so far, with New York winning the first two games by just one run apiece. Atlanta had won eight straight games before entering this series. Atlanta is still in very good shape with a 70-47 record and a 31-27 away record. The Braves are starting to create a big gap at the top of the NL East standings again, sitting 8.5 games ahead of the Philadelphia Phillies. Regardless, New York is still the -150 favorite to complete the sweep at home tonight. The Yankees will try to do that by starting Cam Schlittler. The 2026 first-time All-Star is 10-6 with a 2.26 ERA in 139.2 innings. The Braves will be up for the challenge to avoid the sweep by starting Grant Holmes. The righty is 7-4 with a 3.67 ERA in 108 innings.

After an extra-innings victory in the opener, the Yankees won the series in Game 2 with a 5-4 win on Saturday. It was a battle of two of the game’s best pitchers in any era. Gerrit Cole outdueled Chris Sale to get the victory, improving to 6-5. Cole went seven innings while only giving up two runs on six hits, while striking out nine batters. He beat his Cy-Young counterpart, Sale, who didn’t pitch poorly at all, going six innings while giving up three runs on five hits while striking out eight. George Lombard Jr. hit a solo shot in the seventh to put New York up two, but Ronald Acuña Jr. hit a solo shot of his own to cut the lead in half. But the Yankees didn’t let up with a solo homer in the eighth from Ben Rice, which proved to be the game-winner. Atlanta got within one again in the top of the ninth when pinch-hitter Dominic Smith drove in a run on a single, but the comeback fell just short.
