Braves have defended their home field in Games 3 & 4. In Game 3 they hurled a combined 2-hitter, in their 2-0 shutout victory. In Game 4, Atlanta’s Bullpen gave the Astros Lineup fits. Houston was 0-for-8 with RISP and left 11 runners on base. Braves take the lead with back-to-back homers by Dansby Swanson and Jorge Soler. So, now the Braves are hoping to get win another Bullpen Game. If not, they will have Max Fried and Ian Anderson will start in Games 6 & 7. For the Astros, they got Jose Altuve going. But their concern is Alex Bregman. Bregman was 0-5 in Game 4. Tonight’s Starting Pitchers are a pair of left-handed pitchers. Framber Valdez will start for the Astros. While Tucker Davidson will start for the Braves. Valdez lost Game 1 on Tuesday, giving up 5 ER, in 2 IP. For Davidson, he comes in with a strikeout/walk ratio of 2.25 K/BB, 3.65 P/PA, and 1.10 GO/AO.

Braves took Games 1 & 3, while Astros took Game 2. Although up 2-1, Braves still feel depleted with their pitching staff, as they don’t have Charlie Morton after breaking his leg in Game 1. While Max Fried didn’t have it in Game 2. But Ian Anderson and the Bullpen pitched a combined 2-hitter in Game 3. Now, they are going to Games 4 & 5 with back-to-back Bullpen games, hoping at-worst they get the ball to Max Fried and Ian Anderson for Games 6 & 7. For the Astros, they are trying to get out of their hitting woes. Jose Altuve, Alex Bregman, Carlos Correa are hitting the interstate (.100’s). Houston would like to get those three right-handed hitting middle infielders going in Game 4. What the Astros do have for pitching tonight, is right-hander Zack Greinke.
