Although starting pitchers have not been confirmed, the belief is Philadelphia will roll with Aaron Nola. The Phillies were hoping to trot veteran Zack Wheeler out against the World Series odds contender, but he’s not ready to go after pitching in the regular season finale on Sunday. That means Nola will get the ball, which must be music to the Atlanta batters ears.
The Braves absolutely teed off on Nola this year, racking up 17 hits, 9 runs and 4 dingers in 18 innings per the MLB batter vs pitcher stats . Nola has especially struggled against the meat of the Atlanta order, surrendering 16 home runs in his career to Matt Olson, Ronald Acuna Jr. and Austin Riley. The 33-year-old is coming off his second straight disappointing season, posting a 7-12 record, with a 4.67 ERA and 1.35 WHIP.
