I would be somewhat surprised if they don’t pitch Sale and Fried. There is a theoretical world where the Braves could lose a series to us and if the Mets take care of business vs a nothing to play for Brewers team, the Braves could be out of it by Monday. This would also include the Dbacks stopping their meltdown. The good news is that we will have Lugo and Ragans on Saturday and Sunday so we could maybe get a close or tied game long enough to get into bullpen which becomes more of a crap shoot. Also, he’s good but Fried has not been usual Fried this year. Sale we have almost no chance of getting to and we have Singer on the mound (assuming the Braves do pitch Sale Friday) in an important game on the road. I’d set his IP over/under at 3.5
