The Braves took care of business during their six-game homestand, but Atlanta now turns their attention west with a slate of challenging matchups on the horizon. DOB and EOF preview the Braves' four-series excursion out west, and discuss if the club can maintain its NL East lead with the Phillies and Mets trailing close behind. How would the Bravos' playoff rotation look if the postseason started today? Are they well equipped to tackle most teams? While on the topic of pitching, Eric spins pitch sequencing yarn and waxes about batters' approaches at the plate. The duo also converses about Freddie Freeman's growth as a batter.
