Game 5 is almost an exact rematch from Game 2 of this series, with Jack Flaherty facing Mike Foltynewicz in Atlanta.
The Braves won that game at home, 3-0, as a +103 underdog behind seven shutout innings from Foltynewicz.
It was a 1-0 game until the seventh inning when an overcooked Flaherty allowed a two-run homer to Adam Duvall, but it was also the only game in this series that ended without drama.
The Cardinals rallied for late wins against the Braves bullpen in Games 1 and 4 but lost a 1-0 lead with three outs to go in Game 3.
Fourteen runs were scored in the eighth inning or later in those three come-from-behind wins.
Are more theatrics in store on Wednesday evening, or will one of these starters be able to hang onto an early lead — if they can get it?
