The wins just keep coming! Last night we picked up another underdog winner, this time about the Atlanta Braves (+108) against the Washington Nationals. As the Braves were the better team the line didn’t make any sense, and with Mike Foltynewicz starting, I believed they had the best of the pitching matchup. While Folty had struggled badly early in the summer, he figured things out, had been sent to the minors and was good. So, I felt just like I had been to pick up value and fired the Braves.
Foltynewicz picked up the win, also shined as he tossed six innings of all one-run ball , on just four hits. Surprisingly , Nationals newcomer Austin Voth much match Foltynewicz pitch as he allowed only 1 run and pitched five and two-thirds of an inning. But, the difficulty for the Nationals was the night that is exact since it’s been all season long.
The Nationals bullpen has been horrifically this year. They’ve spent since the worst pencil in the majors, and they surely possess the worst aid crew. And they were awful. Even the Washington bullpen got blasted in just more than three innings of work for a whopping nine runs, despite what had been a competitive match for the majority of the evening and if the smoke cleared, the Braves took a success.
The reduction was a huge one for the Nationals as they have lost seven from the last ten matches, along with the Chicago Cubs are just a game and a half back of Washington for the wild card at the National League. To make matters worse, the Brewers are simply one game out, along with Phillies and the Mets are in the mix also. If the Nationals can’t find a way to turn things around fast, they are going to be left out come playoff time.
For Atlantathey locked up a playoff place last night with the triumph and are days off from locking up the division title as well. With loss and the Braves triumph by the Los Angeles Dodgers, Atlanta currently only paths the best seed in the match, along with LA by three matches for the best record in the match. Atlanta would enjoy nothing more than to knock off the Nats today. For the selection of today, we’ll stay here at the Nation’s Capital since the Nationals host the Braves for game three.
The Atlanta Braves are all currently looking this morning in game three of a three-game show with the Nationals. The Braves have dominated this series thus far as they have won both matches and hold a cumulative run edge that was 15-1. And in both of the first two matches, the Nationals were favored since a note that was sudden, from blowing them out but the Braves didn’t prevent. Knock at the Nationals back from the the card conversation that day and the Braves are looking to finish off the sweep.
Beginning for the Braves is Max Fried (16-5 4.02 ERA), also for the Nationals it is Anibal Sanchez (8-8 4.04 ERA). The match total over-under is place at two and a half runs. The Braves have been -113 road favorites. First pitch is scheduled for 10:38 PM PST from Nationals Park at Washington DC.
Max Fried was not supposed to be part of this rotation this season. He began his year throwing from the bullpen to get Atlanta and was called up in early April for a single place beginning. But if he looked good, he made another beginning, and then a second. That trend continued for a few weeks, and Fried earned his keep and has been named a formal portion of this Atlanta.
And he’s been great. Fried directs the NL in wins for a left-hander and trails only Stephen Strasburg for the National League lead. Before that, he had not lost a start, although he dropped his last start. What has probably been the most striking thing that Fried has achieved this year is win matches. The Braves have been 21-7 in games this year, in which Fried has started. He had one of his best starts as he threw seven innings and allowed just one hit and no runs while striking out twice and pitched against those very same Nationals two weeks ago.
Anibal Sanchez continues to be all over the place this year. Back in April he was awful with an ERA of almost six runs in six starts. He began his season out by dropping his first six decisions. Then he won his next eight conclusions and put together a stretch in which he allowed one run or fewer in six out of nine starts. And then here in September he’s begun to struggle again, using a 0-2 record and 6.75 ERA in two starts.
Sanchez has made four starts against the Braves this season with success. He was great, pitching six shutout innings. But in the subsequent three starts he pitched a sixteen innings and got smashed for eleven runs on twenty-two strikes. He gave up a season-high ten strikes and last faced the Braves and also the Nationals lost.
This is a number when it opened with Washington at -115. It made no sense whatsoever. So, I pounced on it . The sharps’ rest followed all that ancient activity has flipped to where it stands now, that this amount, as little road favorites with the Braves. And while that number is a one that is much sharper, I feel like there’s significant value.
We are aware that Fried is going to be great. He has been great all season long and owns the Nationals this season. And maybe Sanchez is acceptable, or perhaps he gets blasted. But in reality, it does not matter at that because he isn’t going to have the ability to pitch the entire game. At some point the Nationals are going to need to turn over matters to their bullpen, and you can not expect the Braves to penalize them if they do.
The Washington bullpen has been for twenty five earned runs already in the first two games of the show, hammered, and I would expect that trend to continue. So the Braves reach Sanchez ancient, or they need to wait before the bullpen becomes involved, but I view a great deal of runs. So that makes me adore a drama to the Braves. Give the Atlanta Braves to me !
