St. Louis at Atlanta

The MLB Playoffs have been very competitive with three of the four series heading to Game 5s. St. Louis will head to Atlanta with the winner heading to the NLCS. The Braves are under a lot of pressure as they have made nine postseason appearances since 2002 and have yet to advance to the NLCS. The Cardinals have thrived under pressure, having advanced in four series despite facing elimination. St. Louis sends Jack Flaherty (11-8, 2.75 ERA) to the mound to face Mike Foltynewicz (8-6, 4.54 ERA), and despite the Game 2 results, Flaherty is the better long-term option. The Cardinals seem to be a more resilient team who is rising to the moment when needed. Play on St. Louis.
