Brewers Poised for Stunning Upset Against Braves—Can They Pull It Off?
The Braves are not running out of time to turn this season around, but they look like this is going to be a season they are going to want to forget. They are now nine games under .500 and it doesn’t take a genius to realize where their struggles are coming from with an 11-23 road record. You can’t be that bad on the road and expect to be a winning club. There really isn’t a great excuse for the Braves right now. Sure, they’ve dealt with injuries, but the reality is that all teams have had issues. Sometimes a year just doesn’t go your way. They are actually in fourth place of the division right now so things aren’t just going poorly, they are going really bad. Tonight, the Braves turn to Grant Holmes who is 3-4 with a 3.99 ERA and a 1.20 WHIP. Holmes has made 12 starts for the season, and he has been rough on the road with a 5.55 ERA here as opposed 3.12 at home. The good news is that he’s only made four road starts, and he has allowed four or more in two starts, and three or fewer in the other two. He hasn’t faced the Brewers much, but he has held them to two hits in 14 at-bats.
