Las Vegas - Gonna run to Philly this afternoon for another W. Imagine if the Phillies beat the Braves and Padres beat the Dodgers. Then Mr. & Mrs. Nola, A.J. and Stacie, will have to make some tough decisions. Aaron Nola will start for Philadelphia this afternoon, while his brother, Austin, will probably be behind the plate catching Blake Snell in the late game. The Nola parents don't have to worry yet about which kid to root for, but if Aaron keeps throwing bagels, they'll have to make a decision soon. Little brother Aaron, he's 29, Austin is 32, has thrown nothing but bagels the last two times out. And he also BAGELED the Braves in Philly back on September 23, going 6 innings and posting 8 Ks. Looks like Nola will face Spencer Strider instead of Charlie Morton. Strider had an amazing season, posting an 11-5 record with a slim 2.67 ERA. But, and there's always a but, Strider has not pitched since September 18, which is almost a month. According to the Braves, it was due to a minor oblique issue. Okay, we'll go with that, but will still ring the Liberty Bell.
