The Braves have an away doubleheader against their nominal rival the New York Mets today, in what will be games 9 and 10 of a 14 game stretch with no off-days. This is especially taxing as the Braves’ starters have been on a streak of both bad performance and bad luck (aside from the exceedingly lucky Charlie Morton on Friday). The bullpen has been worked very hard recently, pitching nearly as many innings as the starters, and doubleheaders are always tough on pitching, so the Braves really need some depth from their starters today. The pitchers of today to attempt to provide that depth are Allan Winans in the day game and Spencer Strider in the nightcap.
