Mets Win!!!

Braves will have start Chris Sale now, as they were hoping to save him for the first playoff game. 

It will be interesting to see if Mets start regular lineup in game two. I'm guessing we'll see a bullpen game on the mound.

Had read that Mets may forfeit and both teams get in.

That would be a horrible decision for MLB if they allowed that.

Braves saving Sale for the playoffs, starting Holmes.

Seems as if Sale informed the team today that he was having issues with his back and couldn't go today.

Today was not fun but glad Atlanta got in. 
 

I predict they get swept by the Padres. 

Scratching Sale can't be good right now.   Let's hope his back reacts to treatment and he can pitch in the Padres series.
