World Series 2021: Braves vs. Astros Game 6 Pitching Preview, Prediction

Atlanta will turn to Max Fried to avoid playing Game 7 of the 2021 World Series on the road.

The National League champion holds a 3-2 lead over the Houston Astros going into Tuesday's Game 6 at Minute Maid Park.

Atlanta survived the two bullpen games in Games 4 and 5. It emerged with one win and a loss from those contests.

Since Atlanta was down multiple runs in Game 5, Brian Snitker decided to rest his three high-leverage relivers to have them fresh for Tuesday and possibly Wednesday.

Dusty Baker altered his pitching schedule when he called on Game 2 starter Jose Urquidy to pitch an inning of relief on Sunday.
