Who will pitch for the Braves?

For Atlanta, the big question is who their starting pitchers will be for the series. Probable National League Cy Young winner Chris Sale was sidelined from an expected start Monday because of back spasms and may not be able to pitch in this series.

Max Fried is expected to start Game 2 for Atlanta after last pitching on Friday, but other than Fried, it’s unclear who will get the ball for Atlanta in this series.
