Dodgers’ awful offense in Braves’ bullpen game just vindicated their Chris Sale gambit

Katrina Stebbins argues that the Atlanta Braves were vindicated in resting ace Chris Sale after defeating the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-2 in Game 2 of the NLDS. Despite relying on another bullpen game started by Ray Kerr, Atlanta managed to level the series as the Dodgers struggled heavily on offense, finishing 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position.

Atlanta's offense produced three runs off Blake Snell, Kris Bubic, and Edgardo Henriquez via Mauricio Dubón and Michael Harris II. Despite solo home runs from Freddie Freeman and Max Muncy, the Dodgers fell short and must now face Sale in Atlanta.
