The Atlanta Braves were known for their explosive starting lineup entering the Postseason, but it has been a remarkable pitching effort that has led them to five straight victories and an NLCS berth. The Braves cruised past the St. Louis Cardinals in the Wild Card Series and swept the Miami Marlins in the NLDS. In five games played, the Braves pitching staff has 40 innings pitched, a sparkling 1.13 ERA and 50 strikeouts.
