We’ve got a series victory on the line this evening! A one-run victory and one-run defeat has led up to this Game 3 rubber match between the Rockies and Braves, and with the series run total tied 3-3, both clubs have played a similar game.
Atlanta will open the series rubber match with Spencer Strider, holder of a 2.87 ERA. One of the Braves’ workhorses down the 2022 stretch, Strider has allowed a single run in five of his last six starts. He holds the second-best strikeout percentage in baseball (36.7%), and with a WHIP narrowly above one, opposing teams have been forced to take serious advantage on any mistake pitch that Strider throws.
