The Atlanta Braves have the best record in Major League Baseball and they also have one of the best pitchers in the game in Spencer Strider.
The right-hander leads the league in strikeouts with 245 and picked up his 16th win (with just four losses) Thursday night in a showdown with the National League’s second best team - the Los Angeles Dodgers.
During the game we were finally able to figure out what makes Strider so good - he’s able to put a spell on baseballs. OK, he’s not really able to do that but this funny moment with the home plate umpire made it look that way:
