The Braves were shut out for the first time this season losing to the Guardians, 6-0, on Saturday. But Atlanta's pitching remains the best in baseball. The Braves not only have the lowest ERA and WHIP, but their relief pitchers have compiled the lowest bullpen era at 2.06. Cleveland ranks 24th in runs and batting average. Jose Ramirez is off to a slow start batting .175. Now the Guardians have to go against Chris Sale, one of the best lefties in the majors. Sale had a 2.58 ERA and 1.07 WHIP last year. He is 2-1 with a 3.94 ERA and 0.88 ratio this season. Tanner Bibee will be on the mound for the Guardians. Bibee finished strong last season with a 1.30 ERA in September. He is 2-1 with a 3.94 ERA and 1.32 WHIP this season. Bibee is backed by Cade Smith, one of the best closers in the American League. Take the UNDER.
