The Braves are on the verge of representing the National League in the World Series this year, words that cause actual, physical pain to write. They have been led by a potent offense that has added trade deadline acquisitions that made them even more potent this year. They’ve struggled in the rotation at times, but have gotten good starts from the likes of Max Fried and Charlie Morton.
Morton has been amazing in the playoffs since he was first introduced to the atmosphere in Houston. Signed to a low risk guarantee in 2017, he has since turned himself into a high velocity monster that is one of the better, more underrated pitchers in the game today.
