Fargo's MLB Game of the Month (8-4 MLB Run)

This is a play on the ATLANTA BRAVES for our MLB Game of the Month. Atlanta had a chance to close out the World Series at home in Game Five and after taking a 4-0 lead, things were looking good but the Astros kept chipping away and eventually won 9-5 to send the series back to Houston. The nine runs scored were just two fewer than the first four games combined so the offense can either carry that momentum forward or regress to where it was in three of the first four games, scoring a total of four runs. The Braves have not lost consecutive games since dropping four straight from Sept. 14-18 and the lineup gets a boost with the DH back in play. The Braves have the pitching matchup advantage with Max Fried pitching on extra rest as he looks to bounce back from a pair of poor outings. He had a tough outing in Game Two, giving up five runs in the first two innings but he was not hit hard as the damage came on ground-ball singles. Expect to see the pitcher we saw that posted a 1.74 ERA during the regular season after the All Star Break. Things are different on the other side as Luis Garcia will start on three days of rest in Game Six. He threw 72 pitches in Game Three and he will not be stretched too far here, putting a lot of pressure on the Houston bullpen that has logged a lot of innings in this series. The Braves are 6-0 in their last six games after allowing five runs or more in their previous game. 10* (961) Atlanta Braves
