    And they don't have one star, they have a bunch.

    Dodgers SHOULD sweep the Braves if both teams have their best efforts.
    But in MLB playoffs, crazy things happen.

    I was gonna hammer the shit out of whoever the Braves played the first round, because they are the worst team in the playoffs easily, but this price isn't that great, so I'm just hammering game 1 and going accordingly after that.
    I really wanted them to play anyone but the Dodgers so I could attack.
    Sweep? Really? I don't know if I'd go that far.

    No, I was hypothetically saying if both teams played their best efforts in a series, the Braves have no shot. Dodgers have the edge in every category except the pen/manager.

    But it's not like it would be a shock if the Braves didn't win a game. Their offense is capable of going 4 games without a run really.

    since when does striking out a ungodly amount of times and swinging for the fences a recipe for success in the postseason? doesnt make a lot of sense considering they will be facing pitchers that for the most part arnt a bunch of hr allowing scrubs and have swing and miss stuff..

    Braves had the best team era in all of baseball.

    Funny how people conveniently overlook that little nugget of information.

    But Dodgers first two starters are better than Braves first two, only pitching edge Atlanta may have is in Game 3, but they will be on road.

    Let me fix your statement:

    "Dodgers first two starters make much more money than the Braves first two so it means they are better. They are also on ESPN every night so it means they are better too".

    No., they are better because Kershaw will win the Cy Young and actually pitched BETTER than his record because he did not get much run support for a while and Greinke is one of the best second starters in baseball that would be the ace on most teams.

    Braves backers are over thinking or just looking at the +money...Braves starting pitching is a joke and not built for the playoffs. Lineup full of free swingers will not get done in playoff baseball.

    Atlanta took 5 out 7 from Dodgers this season and swept them at home using joke starting pitching and free swingers.

    I'm pretty sure the joke is on you.

    5 out 7 4 of those wins vs Matt Magill, Stephen Fife,Chris Capuano

    Kershaw will dominate the Braves lefty stacked lineup.

    And after everything I said, I ended up on Braves +132 in Game 1. I am banking on Medlen keeping this a VERY low scoring game that will be decided by the better Atlanta bullpen late. Yes, I am also on Under 6.

    Braves fan here if you want to take it with a grain of salt.....

    It should be noted that a significant number of strikeouts in the lineup are removed with the exclusion of Uggla from the roster and with B.J. Upton on the bench. No doubt they are free swingers...probably Heyward and Andrelton Simmons are the only guys that work counts at all.....but the excessive strikeout issue is not as pronounced as some think. That said, the Braves best shot is to have their #2 and #3 starters step it up a notch (Medlen is at the top of his game now) to keep them either tied or ahead in games until the bullpen can do what they've done. With that combination at home, the Braves will at least have the last at bat which is indeed an advantage in such close games. It is absolutely a must that they win the first two games. If not, their chances are out the door.

    Medlen's September era was 0.98. He shut out the Dodgers in 13 2/3 innings this year. Oddly enough, the Braves haven't faced Kershaw since 2011. Not sure who that gives an edge to. Probably Kershaw, as if he needed one.

    This is a tough series to call. But for anyone betting on the game tonight, I think braves RL @ -145 is the play. This has 1 run game written all over it.

    The Braves roster of 2011 is not the same as in 2013. How he can have an edge with players who were not Braves in 2011?
