Pick
I’m on the Braves here. I like Joe Ryan a lot and I consider him to be the staff ace of the Twins’ rotation, but he’s up against it here against a Braves team that’s just been the far better team at the plate against righties this season and they’re just far more disciplined as well. Bryce Elder may not be a household name, but he’s a solid arm with a solid lineup behind him and I look for the Braves to take another one in this series. Give me Atlanta here.
