The Braves do have some solid pitchers, but Michael Foltynewicz is not one of them. In his two road games this season, he’s allowed 11 runs in 8 1/3 innings. He faces Dillon Gee, who hasn’t started since last season when he was with the Mets. In his last two starts, he’s allowed 12 runs in 7 2/3 innings. There’s a reason he was sent to the bullpen.
