I'm playing on ATLANTA. The Braves lost Soroka for the season yesterday, a devastating blow. Don't expect a repeat performance with Fried pitching today though. Indeed, the Braves aren't likely to lose too many at home with their star southpaw, now the undisputed ace with Soroka down, pitching. Thus far, Fried is a 2-0 with a 2.51 ERA to go along with a dominant 0.686 WHIP. To be fair, Shoemaker also pitched well in his lone start. However, he's not likely to get much support. Not against Fried. Not from a Toronto team which is a dismal 39-70 the past 2+ seasons against southpaws. The Jays have had a layoff - which may help from an injury perspective but not necessarily for Shoemaker's rhythm, as he hasn't pitched in a week and a half. Knowing his team needs him more than ever, expect Fried to step up once again, the Braves bouncing back and continuing their strong play here.
