When the Atlanta Braves left Los Angeles, they were thinking that they would be facing Max Scherzer in Game 6. Brian Snitker said that they found out Friday night that Scherzer wouldn’t be pitching he was scratched due to arm fatigue. Snitker said that he didn’t think it would be a big deal for the Braves as they were preparing to face both Scherzer and Buehler anyway.
“We found out last night,” Snitker said. “You know what, they were prepared to face one or both the next two days, so like I say, it’s not that big a deal.
