The Braves head to Milwaukee for a huge series against the team with the best record in baseball — and it starts with one of the most anticipated pitching matchups of the season. Chris Sale takes the mound as Atlanta looks to build off Grant Holmes’ dominant outing and a lights-out performance from the bullpen. But with the Braves’ offense still struggling to cash in with runners in scoring position, can they generate enough offense against one of baseball’s best pitching staffs? Barrett Sallee and Chris Dimino break down the matchup, Milwaukee’s fundamentally sound style of baseball, Atlanta’s offensive concerns and why this stretch against the Brewers and Dodgers has a definite October feel.
