Figured we could bury the hatchet on the regular season thread and discuss the Braves and playoffs in general here.
Tonight is the NL Wild Card game, and it appears that the Nats will start Scherzer but have Corbin and Strasburg ready to go. I'm sure much will be dictated based on how the game progresses, but if they are able to use all 3 in short bursts, then this would allow them to go back to Scherzer in Game 1 if they so choose.
Bowman seems to think (and I've been thinking this as well based on how they aligned the starters this last weekend) that the Braves will go Keuchel, Folty, then Soroka. It's certainly interesting given the fact that the Cards are RH heavy and fare better against lefties, but they must really trust in Keuchel's experience to go against the metrics. I like it!
Cardinals OPS
Season: .733 vs. RHP, .755 vs LHP
Since Aug. 1: .751 vs. RHP, .803 vs. LHP
Since Sept. 1: .735 vs. RHP, .798 vs. LHP
