Braves’ home-field chances take a hit with loss

As the Braves debate whether to put Julio Teheran in their postseason rotation, they must ask whether he should be judged on his recent results or the metrics that indicate his recent success has been aided by good fortune. Teheran made one last good impression as he auditioned for the National League Division Series rotation during Thursday’s 4-1 loss to the Mets at Citi Field. But the offense’s struggles against Jason Vargas prevented the Braves from maintaining their lead in the battle for home-field advantage in the NLDS.
