Shane’s Free Pick
This is a big series for both teams, as this could end up being the National League Championship series in the playoffs, but it will be Braves who pick up the first wins. Fried has been so dominant heading into this game compared to Urias who is coming off a start where he gave up six runs. The Braves offense is going to hit a couple of long balls off of Urias and that will be the difference as the Braves secure the win. Back the Braves on the money line.
