The World Series heads back to Atlanta with uncertainty in tow.
While winning both games one and two in Houston would have been the actual best-case scenario, getting a split before coming back home for three games is an outcome that most fans likely would have had no problem with coming into the series and one that pleased Braves Manager Brian Snitker.
The first two games were eerily similar for both teams. Both teams had innings get away from them with infield miscues while also showcasing game-changing power and strong relief pitching.
After Charlie Morton’s injury in game one, it was critical that Max Fried provide the team innings in game two.
