For the fifth straight season, the Atlanta Braves are the National League East Division Champions. They only scored two runs in an incredibly-nervy performance at the plate, but Jake Odorizzi and the bullpen made absolutely sure that it stood up. Atlanta’s pitching staff only gave up one run and they carried the Braves over the finish line with a 2-1 win over the Marlins.
Coming into this game, the Braves desperately needed a good performance from Jake Odorizzi in order to have a good chance of winning the game. While Odorizzi ended up falling a few innings short of hitting that 110 IP threshold that would’ve netted him a cool million dollars, he gave the Braves exactly what they needed on any given night.
