After a sweep in Minnesota, a win against the Chicago White Sox, and now a chance to avoid a sweep against the Milwaukee Brewers, could Tyler Mahle be the guy to save the Atlanta Braves tonight and get them back on track?
Mahle has had his fair share of quality starts since joining Atlanta’s rotation. And though he didn’t get the results he worked for in his last outing against the Minnesota Twins earlier this week, he’s still on pace for a solid appearance, with an ERA of 1.45 over his last seven outings.
So far, he has a season WHIP of 1.31 and a 4.53 ERA. His five-pitch arsenal is led by his top three pitches: four-seamer, splitter and cutter, but Milwaukee has a thing for right-hand pitchers, and they’re riding a momentum that the Braves’ offense has given them thus far.
For Milwaukee, Shane Drohan is taking the mound. Boasting a 3.86 ERA and a 1.25 season WHIP, Drohan will need to tighten up after allowing 22 earned runs across his last seven outings. And, with the Braves hitting fairly well against left-handed pitchers, this could be the day their bats decide to wake up.
Tonight’s matchup is anyone’s game. It’s going to be hard to predict a clear-cut winner when Atlanta’s offense could be an outlier, and Milwaukee’s pitching is questionable. Either team could decide to show up in this finale.
The Braves are looking to avoid a sweep and get back to business before heading home and the Brewers are looking to bring out the brooms.
Tune in at 7:10 p.m. E.T for first pitch.
