Max Fried will help lead the host Braves past the Astros on Sunday afternoon.
Sunday, the Astros play at Atlanta to cap off a three-game series in what should be a heck of a pitching matchup.Javier has pitched two gems this season in wins over the Tigers and Blue Jays — he allowed just one run in each of those outings. The right-hander has been strong in three of four starts this season, but his one poor performance came on the road against Pittsburgh.
Houston has been better against right-handed pitching this year, averaging 5.50 runs per nine innings, compared to just 4.07 versus lefties heading into Saturday. Javier will need to pitch better in his second road start or it will be a long afternoon facing one of the top lineups in MLB. The Braves rank top-10 in average, runs, on-base percentage and home runs.
