After picking up a rain-delayed victory against the Cardinals last night, the Braves are now going to try to keep things going by guaranteeing a split in this four-game series against St. Louis.
The pitching matchup tonight seems interesting if only because of the fact that Ian Anderson is starting and there’s really nowhere to go but up for the 24-year-old. His last start was absolutely nightmarish, and it was especially concerning considering that his start before that saw him go just four innings while giving up four runs. That type of work on the mound is not going to cut it and he’s got to start doing better soon in order to meet the standard that the rest of the rotation is setting.
