If not for the recent addition of Jonny Venters, Sanchez would be the Braves’ best Comeback Player of the Year Award candidate. The veteran right-hander has slashed his homer-per-nine-innings rate from 2.2 in 2017 to 1.1 this year.
Greinke lost his last start when he allowed three runs over 7 1/3 innings against the Dodgers. He has pitched better at Chase Field this year, allowing two or fewer runs in 13 of his 14 starts at home. He beat the Braves on July 14 in Atlanta.
