So if you're the Braves, how are you looking at this series? I think all the pressure is on the Braves to win the first game and at least one of the first two.

Who is the starting pitcher on Saturday in Atlanta?

Ranger. I think it's a repeat of last year G1 matchup.

As of this afternoon, Topper had not announced a starter for Game 1. The below article indicates that the viable options are Ranger, Christopher Sanchez, or Taijuan Walker, and provides some analysis on each of them.

I think Ranger Danger gets the call based on his experience last year.

Schwarber leads off the game with a double. And follows it up by running to 3rd on a ground ball to the SS, which results in him getting thrown out at 3rd. You can't give up outs like that against the Braves.

Ranger should be pissed, I know I am. The manager is asking an awful lot from his bullpen.

This Braves crowd is lame! Plenty of empty seats behind home plate and not a lot of noise.

Jose Alverado pitched the 6th, and didn't give up a run. Rookie Orion Kerkering pitched the 7th, and didn't give up a run

This board/thread is funny. The Phil’s get a free run and suddenly there’s crickets.
