Braves look to even the series behind Max Fried in a premiere pitching matchup

After another frustrating loss on Friday night, the Braves will have an opportunity to even the series with the Brewers at one win a piece behind Max Fried, who has been fantastic this season. Despite Max being great, this cannot be considered a clear Atlanta advantage in the pitching matchup, as reigning NL Cy Young winner Corbin Burnes will take the mound for Milwaukee and his 2022 has started in dominant fashion, although slightly worse than he was last season, when he put up a 2.43/1.99/1.63/2.30 ERA/xERA/FIP/xFIP slash line.

Max Fried has been one of the best pitchers in baseball so far this season, with the addition of an effective changeup to his arsenal.
