Could the Braves and Yankees meet in the World Series? According to Sports Illustrated, it's what we should expect in October. DOB and EOF think over an Atlanta-New York Fall Classic, and will Ronald Acuna Jr. win NL MVP? Max Fried will be the Bravos' Opening Day starter, the first left-handed pitcher to do so since Tom Glavine. The HOFer, himself, weighs in on Fried taking the mound to start the year. Who's in the mix to be the team's fifth starter, and in what order will the determined starters pitch? Although he's pieced together an admirable Spring, Jacob Webb has been optioned to the alternate site. The question is, why? David and Eric discuss why the 27-year-old promising arm isn't in the starting rotation. The duo also reacts to Drew Smyly and Josh Tomlin's encouraging outings, and Austin Riley's moonshot.
