What's Chop'n:

Winning Streak:

The Braves have won four straight games and will go for a five-game sweep of the Lookouts in Chattanooga tonight Facing the Biscuits:

The M-Braves went 3-7 against the Biscuits last season, including, an 0-5 record against Montgomery at Trustmark Park. The M-Braves trail the all-time series, 96-130, and are 52-65 all-time against the Biscuits at Trustmark Park. Who to Watch:

Montgomery's roster features five of the Rays' top-30 prospects according to most recent rankings at MLB Pipeline: LHP/DH Brendan McKay (3), OF Jesus Sanchez (4), INF Lucius Fox (10), OF Josh Lowe (15) and INF Tristan Gray (28)

The Mississippi roster has nine of Atlanta's top-30 prospects according to MLB Pipeline: RHP Ian Anderson (3), OF Cristian Pache (4), OF Drew Waters (8), LHP Joey Wentz (12), LHP Kyle Muller (13), RHP Patrick Weigel (19), LHP Tucker Davidson (22), INF CJ Alexander (23) and INF Ray-Patrick Didder (30). Did You Know?:

The Biscuits became Montgomery's first Major League Baseball-affiliated team since 1980, when the Montgomery Rebels, a Detroit Tigers affiliate played their final season in the Southern League at Montgomery's Paterson Field. The Biscuits' owners, Sherrie Myers, and Tom Dickson were selected from six different ownership groups during an extensive search for a public-private partnership by the City of Montgomery. Myers and Dicks selected the team's nickname from over 4,000 entries in a "name the team" contest, due in part to tying into indigenous affiliation and potential marketing.
