After losing the first two games of a home series to a barely-there Mets roster, the Braves are going to have to figure something out fairly quickly if they want to stay alive in the playoff chase. Yes, it’s “only” May, but the Pit of Despair is now more present than looming, and if you can’t get wins against your biggest impediment to a playoff spot when their roster is way, way more diminished than yours, when can you? That’s a question the Braves will hopefully divine an answer to tonight as they try to avoid a sweep, and repeatedly afterwards.
