Not really looking forward to facing the Reds where just two wins catapults a team to the next round. I think MLB made a mistake with these expanded playoffs, but I understand they were most concerned with driving overall fan interest due to the circumstances and short season. I wish they would have made the WC teams play off first against eachother, given the top two seeds a bye and then proceeded. h, well, Bauer vs a banged-up Max Fried. Braves have had almost no starting pitching the entire short season, so what else is new? Acuna and Riley also injured. Hope the bats show up in our two games, otherwise it will be a shame to waste this offense which, when it's firing, is unbelievable from a Braves team.

byes just don't work though. I mean look at the 1 seed record in the LDS the last 8 years. 8-8 and even in games played.
