Starting Pitchers

- Braves — Chris Sale (LHP): 14-9, 2.16 ERA, 0.98 WHIP, 200 strikeouts in 162.2 innings
What to Watch For
Both teams enter this series at 0-0 — a clean slate where every win matters and every loss stings. The pitching matchup alone is worth the price of admission: Luzardo has been the more consistent winner this season at 14-5, but Sale’s 2.16 ERA gives Atlanta a legitimate ace at the top. Two lefties, two sharp numbers, and a postseason stage. It should be a good one.
