After playing 27 innings on opposite coasts in slightly more than 24 hours, the Braves have run out of gas. They didn't have anything in a 4-0 loss to the Padres on Tuesday in Game 1 of their NL Wild Card Series.

AJ Smith-Shawver, Atlanta's starting pitcher on Tuesday, didn't find out he was going to start until Tuesday morning. The Braves are without Chris Sale, who is out with back spasms. That can't do much for their morale and confidence.

The pitching matchup for today's Game 2 is lefty Max Fried vs. Joe Musgrove.

Fried has not been good in the playoffs. He has a 2-4 record and 4.57 ERA in 19 postseason appearances. San Diego went 27-19 against southpaw starters.

Musgrove is in great form. He has a 0.98 ERA in his last three starts, surrendering only two earned runs in 18 1/3 innings with a 23-to-1 strikeout-to-walk ratio during this span.
