Without more pitching, Braves won't last long in October

Bryce Elder gave the Braves an encouraging performance in Monday's win over the Padres, but Tuesday served as a reminder of the club's biggest concern. Reynaldo López couldn't match Elder's outing in the series opener, reinforcing the reality that Atlanta's starting rotation remains too thin for a team with postseason aspirations. As 92.9 The Game Braves Insider Grant McAuley put it: "This is not a tenable situation for a contender for the final 60 games of the year. Everybody that looks at the Braves recognizes that, pitching-wise, they do not have the depth."
