    Or a logical thinker could say Boston won more games then Atlanta in a better division and Houston beat them 3 in a row for 4-2. Boston's lineup is better on paper then Atlanta's w/o Acuna, but games aren't played on paper.

    Astros are 4-31 with RISP in the World Series. That explains everything.

    It was a perfect script for Bobby Cox to see the Atlanta Braves win a world series while he on his last legs

    Atlanta is going to win the World Series because of pitching not anything else, pitching always wins you could have minor-league hitters and still get in the playoffs


    The judges and trouts dont equate to winning

    I'm worried about tonight. The weather will be warmer. Houston could start hitting. This is the toughest game of the series to win.

    Relax boys. Braves will win the world series. Braves have 2 starters fresh to pitch the last 2. Houston has no starting pitchers for last two. I told you Braves will lose game 5. It's part of the plan. Use the scrubs tonight and keep the horses rested for final 2.

    Haven't watched at all. I accepted that I f'd up and Houston lost. Now they'll prob win.

    Greinke Game 7 gives me warm and fuzzies. Not sure about 6?

    I have to say Dusty has done pretty damn well imo. His best reliever turned 2-1 into 2-3 last night....otherwise he'd be 3-2. He's done everything he could do which is unusual for him

    The way I see it Braves have their best 2 starting pitchers that are available to start game, their set up man and their closer well rested for last 2 games.

    Anderson can also come in on Game 6 for a late inning if Braves are up.

    On the other hand Astros have no starting pitchers and a thin bullpen.

    Snitker set it up perfectly. It's a win win situation for Braves.

    I'm not worried one iota. The World Series champions will be the Braves.

    lol only way astros win games in this series is by scoring 7+

    they were up 3-2 2 years ago and lost them both at home

    this time braves just need to get 1 and as Pavy is saying have the better pitching setup
