It was a busy day in Braves country on Saturday. Spencer Strider dominated and led the Braves to a 4-1 victory, securing the series win over the Reds. Strider has been unreal this season and is arguably the favorite for the NL Rookie of the Year. He is in the top 30 in pitching fWAR and boasts a 2.02 FIP and 2.51 xFIP that are better than his sparkly 3.02 ERA. The Braves were linked to another flamethrowing dominant right-handed pitcher on Saturday, as Buster Olney tweeted that the Braves are perceived by some as favorites to land potentially the best pitcher on earth in Jacob deGrom if he opts out this offseason as he has intended to.
