The Braves were playing chess?  Greene is good, but his FIP indicates regression is coming.  Melancon is no better than what we added.  And they didn't add to their rotation.  They have very little  chance to beat LA.  Pitching matchups are terribly lopsided.

To be fair, nobody is gonna beat the Dodgers.

We did, if we'd done something useful at the deadline.

They may have asked for Keiboom, but there was clearly some wiggle room

Damn. RIP to us.

You're actually right. There's a new report saying "Dansby Swanson (foot) will not be activated from the injured list Saturday as initially expected." So he could miss another week or two.

They have enough depth that it doesn’t matter much.

The only guy I could think of is Camargo who is 4-26 in his last eight games. Don't know whether or not Culberson can play shortstop.
