## Resource

Atlanta Braves are on the brink of clinching a playoff spot with just ten games left, magic number down to five — and if they win tonight, they could even grab the second seed thanks to their tiebreaker over the Dodgers. Starting pitcher JR Ritchie, fresh off a dominant two-start stretch in AAA (24 Ks, 3 walks), gets the nod to rest Chris Sale ahead of the postseason. First pitch at 7:40 PM ET — every game counts as the Braves push hard for postseason glory. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
