The Braves decided yesterday to start Grant Holmes today. Chris Sale, who was scheduled for today, has been pushed to the Mets’ home series opener on Tuesday. It shows a lot of confidence for a 31-38 team. Maybe the Braves feel that they are closer to the 37-32 pace that their expected win-loss record says they should be.
How confident are you in a Braves win today? Confident enough to push Chris Sale to Tuesday? Any other year where the Braves are facing maybe the worst team in 100 years in terms of record this would be a gimme.
