Even if the Braves go .500 the rest of the way, they would finish 96-66. On a better track than the famous '95 Braves, they can and should be the favorites to win the World Series. At least, that's what Atlanta legends John Smoltz and Tom Glavine say.
. A team only needs three solid-to-great starters in the postseason. If Fried comes back healthy, they have that covered.“I’m thrilled that they got away from the bullpen games and started giving some of these other guys an opportunity to go out there. That’s a luxury that the organization had. It’s been a little bit of a revolving door, but that’s OK.
As for what could go wrong, there are the obvious doomsday hypotheticals: Fried struggles in his return. A significant player in the lineup gets injured. Players pacing for career seasons fizzle. There might come a point when manager Brian Snitker has to balance resting players with the team trying to keep an edge.
“I’ve been on teams that were behind, ahead by nine games, 15 games — there’s no perfect formula,” Smoltz said.Or do the Braves have the perfect formula? They could use a utility infielder or a bullpen arm at the deadline, but if Fried is healthy, that might be it. “If you’re a betting person, how do you bet against the Braves right now?” Glavine said. “OK, some guys are having career years right now and you think they can’t keep up that pace. But one thing I’ve learned is sometimes guys just have career years. The only thing you can say negatively is, can they possibly stay this hot all year long? But is that really a negative? Some of those teams I played on, we’d get on a roll and I would think, ‘Man, I hope we’re not peaking too soon.
