Oh right, there are actual baseball games today instead of simply talking about trades and contract extensions. In fact, the Braves are back in action against the Phillies for the first of a two-game series that’ll probably come and go in the blink of an eye since tomorrow’s game is a 12:20 start.
The Braves have to be feeling good about the pitching matchup since they’ll have Spencer Strider taking on the Phillies again. Strider has pitched 8.2 innings against Philadelphia this season and he’s racked up 11 strikeouts with just three hits, three walks and two runs allowed.
