Well, I guess there is no way for him to choke again in the post-season if he's not pitching..

I was on the Braves with Kershaw pitching so I know for sure I'm on them now. I'm in ATL and many people have no idea the Braves are still in it. I had to tell my brother who they were playing.

I was more sure of the Braves when Kershaw WAS pitching as he is the biggest fade in playoff history especially since the opponent continually gets huge plus money based on his regular season performance.

Dodgers -1' +160 here

Don't get carried away because Atlanta won one game in dramatic fashion. The Dodgers are the better team.

Tonight is about Ian Anderson .

This guy got ice in his veins .

Im almost ready to call him the ACE he’s that good .

I don’t know how the Braves ended up with 3 ACE pitchers almost overnight but they have .

And I’m not even counting J Wright who has the highest pedigree of all them .

This bullpen is outright filthy .

And this is where the Braves shine even more vs the Dodgers .
Anderson is by far a better pitcher then Gonsolin and we have a better bullpen .

What are they better at ?
and no it’s not 1 game.
Braves are undefeated in the playoffs with 4 shutouts out of 6 games .

If the Braves win today, I'll let Charles tell you what will happen.

I think a big part of Kershaw's post-season struggles have had to do with him wearing down by the time the MLB playoffs roll around. Seems like he always just runs out of gas come September and October.

This shortened season was set up perfectly for him to finally shine in the playoffs. He would normally be in mid-season form right now.

Now this.

The only thing I can think of currently that the Dodgers might be better at is offensive depth .

But that is not gonna play much of role tonight . That’s more or a 162 game type of advantage . Don’t mean as much in a 7 game series .

Dodgers were #1 in the league on offense this year and the Braves were right behind them at #2.

But the Braves had several key injuries this season acuna and Albies both missed significant time .
Everyone is healthy now except for Duvall .

The bullpen has literally been historic .
Only gave up 1 run the entire post season and it was a meaningless low leverage run when they were up 9-4

The Braves players are actually having fun while playing and I think that gives them an edge. They seem to be playing with no pressure. The Dodgers on the other hand are expected to win.

Anderson knows how to change speeds and keep hitters off balance. Main attribute I look for in a pitcher. Means he doesn't need 'to be on' to have success.

The braves incredibly deep bullpen only threw 36 pitches last night with 3 pitchers and the Dodgers thin pen threw 68 pitches with 5 pitchers .

That was very evident last night Soli...Braves having lots of fun...the MLB version of the Miami Heat. Dodgers don't exactly have a great history of front runners. Let's see if the hitters step up tonight.
