Guess BJ deserves to stay at the top spot. Pretty excited about tonight though. Never really get to see Kershaw pitch much. Go Braves...I guess

[cajunrevenge]

Bet 45 bucks on the dodgers. Win win situation.

We should do a contest of some sort for how many Ks he will have tonight.

I say he strikes out 15

not a bad idea

[Bama9507]

9 K's

[Hulavol]

We need to be incredibly patient and get his pitch count up as high as possible.

Or maybe he ate some bad sushi for pre-game meal (we can only hope)...

Thing is..nothing works against him. If you're "patient" he'll just K you looking with 3 straight pitches.

Kershaw is firmly in my fantasy lineup today.

The Jinx is on.

You're welcome Braves fans.

Taking one for the team, the greater good.

[Bama9507]

I'll consider it a good night if Upton only K's 3 times

[zitothebrave]

We're gonna get totally boned tonight. Braves will be killed like a turkey in November.

[yeezus]

BJ is going to K 3 times (that's all the ABs he will get) on 9 pitches. All swings and misses.

[Heyward]

That lineup vs Kershaw

Note, not blaming Fredi but sheesh, Kershaw should have no problems with that.

CG shutout, or 8 innings of 0-1 run ball with 13-15 K's.

[Hulavol]

Just when you think Kershaw will own us.... We will get a couple of HRs from the likes of Freeman and Gattis!

Also, Nats are getting drilled by the Phils...

[Braves1976]

Also, Nats are getting frilled by the Phils...

Philly may blow it, already 7-4 and runners on 1st and 3rd one out and tying run at plate. Plus only 7th inning.

[gtcway]

Really wanted to watch this game but in Eastern time zone and have to get up at 4am for a long day

[Hulavol]

OK...here we go.... need a win in the worst way. Will be difficult, but I have faith!

[thewupk]

Braves will get swept but still only be 1.5 back.

[bravesnumberone]

Teheren needs to have his A+ stuff. A shutout. And hopefully we score in the 13th and win 1-0.

I would gladly take that right now.
