Braves in 5. I think the Phillies give them a scare but in the end this year's Braves will prove to be too much to overcome. Might be the best series of the Divisional round after the Os/Rags.

[AtlantaWhaler]

Phillies in 4. Braves just doesn't have the pitching.

AA royally F'ed up not grabbing at least one starting pitcher at the deadline.

Phillies in 5

I think this Philly team is on a mission. We know Harper is.

The chicken looks good, but why donuts? We gonna throw some gummy worms on that too?

 

[Halladay]

The Braves will win, might go 5 games though. With the extra off day for the NL this year they can throw Strider and Fried both twice on normal rest. Huge advantage. Though if it does go 5 that means Wheeler would pitch which would be huge.

Phillies in 4.

Not a big fan of this playoff format. I'm a big believer in momentum and I don't think the bye is advantageous for the divisional winners. Sweeping a wild card series creates momentum and belief. This could easily get away from the Braves, again.

Same principle as chicken & waffles man - salty & sweet.

I'll pass on that monster though....

 

[BelovedIsles]

Braves in 5. The Phillies are the one opponent that scares me the most. Using the experience from a year ago, coupled with good enough pitching, better preparation during the layoff, and just a better overall team (Acuna is healthy and playing at a historic caliber), the Braves will grind this out.

Ranger Suarez starts Game 1 for the Phillies

Why

I think I might become a diabetic just looking at that picture.

 

[AtlantaWhaler]

What the hell are the Braves doing? They win 100-something games and completely change their lineup. So stupid

They will be fine, or at least tonight they will be.

 

[GKJ]

Don’t do any of that

 

[forsbergavs32]

Strider looks shaky to start but manage to get out of top of the 1st without giving up a run

 

[BMOK33]

Strider getting a DP is like Sid Fernandez getting a DP in 1991, I am not sure how few he has had in his career so far but he's largely a K/FB guy
