This four-game series has been one of extremes. We saw the Braves win by nine on Thursday, then the Brewers won by eleven on Friday. After those two extremely rough games, we saw that was decided by the finest of margins: An eleventh-inning walk-off victory for the Braves. I've given you that mini-recap to say that we don't really know what to expect in today's game between the Braves and the Brewers.
So, as always,let's hope for the best possible result: A Braves victory! Here are the lineups:
And here's data on today's opposing pitcher, Jimmy Nelson:
