Main Body
The Braves have shown a strong ability to make comebacks this season, with 25 total comeback wins. For example, they won 4-3 against the Brewers thanks to a two-run home run by Ozzie Albies in the ninth inning. Albies, who has a .284 batting average and 12 home runs, emphasized that the current team's strength is similar to the 2021 championship team. Manager Walt Weiss agreed with this view, noting that the team has recovered well after losing six of seven games.
勇士隊本賽季展現了強大的反擊能力,共有 25 場反敗為勝的比賽。例如,感謝 Ozzie Albies 在第九局擊出兩分全壘打,他們以 4-3 擊敗釀者。Albies 的打擊率為 .284 且有 12 支全壘打,他強調目前球隊的實力與 2021 年奪冠時相近。總教練 Walt Weiss 同意此看法,並指出球隊在經歷七場比賽輸掉六場後恢復良好。
For the final game of the series, the focus is on the pitching matchup between Bryce Elder and Robert Gasser. Elder has a 3.15 ERA and wants to perform better than he did in his last game against the Mets. On the other hand, Gasser has not won any of his five appearances and has a 4.88 ERA due to inconsistent pitching. Furthermore, historical data shows that Brewers' player Brice Turang has been very successful against Elder, while only one Braves batter, Joey Bart, has faced Gasser before.
