Following two comfortable wins against the Mets in two straight games, the Braves will likely be facing a much tougher challenge tonight as Atlanta will have to topple Max Scherzer if they want to clinch the series victory this evening.
There’s no way around it: The Braves are probably going to be in for a battle in this game. Max Scherzer this season has looked every bit like the future Hall-of-Famer that he is. Scherzer hasn’t given up more than two runs in a start since May 8 and he’s at least made it into the sixth inning in all but one of the starts that he’s made this year.
