The Braves will be favored in both games against Wheeler. They were favored against him in Philly two weeks ago. Nothing about this team is an anomaly. They are the best team, betting favorites, etc. with 2 elite starters and the best offense in the modern era.

You think I’m cherry picking to find positives? It’s much more difficult to find negatives or reasons to act like they’re destined to fail.

In Strider's last 5 starts, he has given up 18 runs in 28.1 innings. If you consider that elite, then you have lower standards than I do.

I also don't assume that the offense will put up 6-7 runs every night in the playoffs.

I also have less than zero confidence in Elder in a playoff start.

Never said that, just want you to argue in good faith.

You can’t say I’m insane for thinking the Phillies have been playing baseball just as good as us over the last two months out of one side of your mouth then say we shouldn’t be worried about Wheeler because of that one time we got him out of the other side.

Annoying to not score that 4th run in the 6th.

Not a huge fan of the lineup construction tonight even with Arica’s numbers against lefties. Not who I want batting 6th after the big boppers late in the game against the elite righty relievers. Will be interesting to see what we do against lefties in the playoffs lineup construction wise.
