The Atlanta Braves are one win away from advancing to the NLCS. They hope to wrap it up at home on Tuesday against the Milwaukee Brewers.
After dropping Game 1 in the NLDS, the Atlanta Braves have fought back to win the next two with some great pitching and now hold a 2-1 series lead.
While they have two games to win one, they really need to try and get it done at home on Tuesday to avoid a trip back to Milwaukee where they’ll likely face Corbin Burnes again.

Braves Pitcher Today: Charlie Morton
Charlie Morton will come back to start Game 4 on just three days rest after throwing 85 pitches last Friday.
He was brilliant for 5 innings before losing command in the sixth. In the 7th he got ahead of the first two batters before hitting one and giving up a 2-run homer to the next, which are the only runs the Brewers have scored in this series.
The Braves have to be hoping they get 4 or 5 solid innings from Morton again and that will give the offense enough time to put up some runs on Brewers lefty starter Eric Lauer.
Then I think we see a combination of Huascar Ynoa and Drew Smyly try to get through innings 4-6 before handing it over to Tyler Matzek, Luke Jackson, and Will Smith in the final 3 innings if the Braves are winning.

Braves vs Brewers Prediction Today
With Lauer getting the start I like the Braves’ chances to get 3 or 4 runs early. Lauer has been really good this season and has held down lefties and righties, but I still think it’s a great matchup for Atlanta’s right-handed power lineup.
Even with Morton starting, I can’t imagine he goes more than 5 innings. That means either way the Braves bullpen is going to have to cover a lot of innings on Tuesday — that’s never a good thing.
The Brewers’ backs are against the wall, I think they pull out the win on Tuesday 6-4 and force a Game 5 in Milwaukee.
