Let’s just hope for the best, y’all.
You probably don’t need me to tell you that the series in Washington didn’t exactly go as planned for the Atlanta Braves. You definitely don’t need me to tell you that things haven’t been going as planned for the Braves in general since the start of May and they’ve been looking very rough since the calendar switched to that month. They still haven’t shaken off that funk yet and now they’ll have to try to pull it off against a very good Baltimore Orioles team.
Fortunately, Max Fried is going so all hope isn’t lost. The Orioles will surely be up for the challenge but Fried should be equally ready to keep Baltimore’s lineup quiet. If he continues to dominate then the Braves could have a shot at opening this series with a win. Let’s hope it happens!
