The Braves are closing in on a playoff spot, but Chris Dimino says their formula for winning has not changed: hit home runs, get enough starting pitching and hand a lead to the bullpen. On this edition of Braves Central, Chris and Nick break down Atlanta’s frustrating struggles with runners in scoring position, the Astros series in Houston and why the postseason can hinge on an unexpected player rising to the moment. They also discuss Chris Sale’s adjusted schedule, Tyler Mahle and Martín Pérez, the state of the bullpen and what the Braves need to see as October approaches.
