Here's how i would arrange the starting pitcher rotation of the Braves in the Playoffs.

Mike Foltynewicz
Kevin Gausman
Anibal Sanchez
Sean Newcomb(I think he may have hit the wall lately)
Julio Teheran(Inconsistant and prone to giving up homers)

Touki Toussaint could be an interesting relief pitcher possiblity or be a starter if Sean Newcomb ot Julio Teheran continue to be inconsistant in the last games of the 2018 season.

I'm still worried about the Nats.

I think the Cubs will beat the Nationals tomorrow and I believe the Braves will win 2 of 3 from the Nationals in the upcoming series.

Tomahawk Take(that great literary guild)has Folty possibly moving to the closer role in 2019. Mainly due to the excess of young pitchers coming up.

Sean Newcomb theory: Lefty’s come late, evidenced by the Sandy Koufax example and every lefty thereafter above 25 y.o. that has done well. He leads us in wins with 12-8, sub 4 e.r.a.

due to the excess of young pitchers coming up.

There is no such thing as too much pitching. (I know you were not advocating the move, it is semi ludicrous)
