Braves on the road against the Nats.
This too feels like maybe some runs are coming in it here tonight.
Craig now.
Yeah, it's a strange little two game series here between Atlanta
and Washington and Atlanta to no surprise has dominated Washington
completely this season.
They've won eight out of the 11 games that they've played and you
know, there's there's a couple of concerns for the Braves for me
tonight is not one.
I think tomorrow could be but Jake Irvin to me Joe is an instant
fade for Washington and they went through all of their good
relievers yesterday to get Miami out and I think they're back.
They're back to the bad relievers tonight.
So I'm going to back Atlanta tonight in this my only concern a
little bit with the Braves would be that their entire season to
win the division comes down to the four game series this weekend
against Philadelphia.
They can put this to bed with a series win three out of four if
Atlanta beats Philly.
That's it.
It's a wrap put it done.
It's it's not July or August anymore.
If they take care of business, then I think that they could do
that.
I just think the Washington used up everything they had against
Miami to get wins and yesterday Dalen Lyle who hit two home runs
was named the National League player of the week.
Joe he's hitting 500 in his last 27 plate appearances.
So he is the one bright spot going for Washington.
Give me Atlanta though tonight.
I can't trust the Nets.
I don't know who they'd pitch out of the bullpen tonight.
Jake Irvin is not going to throw five innings.
He's going to give up a lot of runs.
I know he pitched very well against Colorado last week, but
his last four starts against the Braves ZRA is over five again.
Give me Atlanta.
Yeah, I think Atlanta is at a good bounce back spot, but I can
see some runs coming in this one here.
I mean that we had mentioned it yesterday, but wasn't for that
awful bullpen of the Nats.
I think they've got the second most runs scored in Major League
baseball.
They and how can they be this bad and under five?
Oh, that's right because the bullpen is absolute trash there
and that's exactly what has cost them here.
