The Braves need two consecutive wins to avoid a first-round exit after their recent loss, placing them in a critical elimination game against the Padres.
Max Fried has performed consistently well with a 3.4 fWAR this season, showcasing his resilience, having regained his form after an injury-laden early season.
Despite his recent success, Fried's FIP and xFIP scores suggest that he faced challenges this year, reflecting frustrating sequences and baseball dynamics beyond his control.
Having previously struggled against the Padres, Fried's upcoming start is critical; previous matchups show he can be vulnerable, indicating the pressure is on.
