Atlanta Braves: Bring on playoff aces, if they exist!

The Atlanta Braves are preparing for the National League playoffs at this point, heading into their final weekend series against the Philadelphia Phillies. Some fans have worries about the Braves ability with top pitchers, however, specifically the type of pitchers that usually populate a postseason rotation.

Though it took an incredible performance from Jacob deGrom in order to salvage even one victory over the Atlanta Braves on his season in six starts, deGrom had dominated the Braves on the stat sheet on the season, posting an incredible 0.88 ERA and 0.78 WHIP over 41 innings against the Atlanta Braves on the season with 50 strikeouts, but just Wednesday night’s victory on the win tally for the season.
