And let’s not forget about Grant Holmes, who will be starting against the Dodgers after the series in San Diego. How crucial is this game for him, and what does it mean for his future with the team?
Finally, with the Braves’ rotation seemingly set, do you think they have what it takes to compete for the division title this year? What are your predictions for the season ahead?
