◈ Atlanta
Charlie Morton (5 wins, 4 losses, 3.89 ERA) is aiming for his 6th win of the season. On the 29th, Morton secured a victory with a strong performance of 6.1 innings, giving up 3 hits and no runs in a home game against Pittsburgh, once again proving that he is a strong pitcher at home. His record of 3 wins, 2 losses, and a 3.14 ERA in night games this season is also a point of optimism. In the previous game, Atlanta's lineup managed to score 3 runs against Hicks, achieving 8 hits just against him, which is a crucial point. However, the table setters need to perform better than they are now. The bullpen, which pitched 3 innings of 1-hit, scoreless baseball, appears to have a definite impact in securing the win.
◈ San Francisco
Logan Webb (6 wins, 6 losses, 3.12 ERA) is challenging for his 7th win of the season. On the 29th, Webb demonstrated strong pitching with 7 innings and 2 earned runs in a home game against the Dodgers, once again proving that he is solid in home games. Last year, he struggled against Atlanta, giving up at least 4 runs in less than 6 innings both at home and away. Given that he tends to struggle in night games, the expectation for this game might be a quality start (QS). In the previous game, San Francisco's lineup, which was held to just 1 run by Chris Sale's pitching, clearly felt the insurmountable presence of a mountain. It seems that the team struggles if Elliott Ramos is shut down. The bullpen, which pitched 3 innings of 2-hit, scoreless baseball, benefits from the rest given to the core pitchers.
◈ Comment
The previous game can be described as a showcase of Chris Sale's greatness. This upcoming game, where both teams have traded wins, highlights the series. Morton is exceptionally strong in home night games, while Webb has weaknesses in away night games. The fact that Hicks fell apart previously suggests that Webb is also in danger, which will be a decisive factor in the game. The Atlanta Braves, who have the edge in starting pitching, are closer to securing the win.
