The Astros showed up big time in game two on Wednesday night. Never count this team out. We all saw what they did in Boston, and thy can do it in Atlanta. Will they do it in Atlanta? We know this, or at least we think it’s safe to say that neither team sweeps in Atlanta. Is there any chance for a backdoor sweep? Meaning the Astros win the next three games and the series is over. With Houston, anything is possible, as much as we love this young Atlanta lineup, this old Houston lineup is just as deadly. Pitching is the key; it must be on point if Houston has any chance to backdoor sweep. We don’t think this will happen and in fact, just the opposite. The Braves can also backdoor sweep. Check with your offshore bookmaker for the odds on three straight wins, or the odds to “win out”. Call them and ask, it could be worth your money.
Astros @ Braves
World Series Game 2
Truist Park, Atlanta, GA
6: 09 CT FOX
Line: ATL -111/+101, RL -1.5, O/U 8.5
Garcia Vs. Anderson
Luis Garcia comes into this game with a 1-1 record in this year’s playoffs. He has put together a 3
.25 ERA, and a 1.15 WHIP. Ian Anderson comes in with a 1-0 record, a 3.58 ERA, and a 1.22 WHIP.
Garcia went 11-8 on the season with an ERA of 3.30. He amassed 167 K’s and a 1.17 WHIP. Over the last seven days, he has pitched in one outing (5 innings), he gave up 7-hits, 6 runs, 3 earned runs, 2-homers, 2-walks, and 6-strikeouts.
Anderson went 9-5 on the regular season while posting a 3.58 ERA, 124 K’s, and a 1.23 WHIP. He is 1-0 over the last seven days, with a 3.00 ERA. He has pitched in 6-innings over the last seven days, given up 3 hits, 2 runs, 2 earned runs. 1 homer, 3 walks, and 2 K’s.
This pitching matchup is a complete wash. Who comes into this game hot, that’s the question. The Astros rose to the occasion and won game two at home. They needed that game and it comes as no surprise, they have a ton of hitting and they seem to dial it up at will. They can do the same in Atlanta, however, the Braves make their first World Series appearance in Atlanta, since 1996. The crowd will be rocking, that city will be lit up, and it will be crazy. If there was ever a home field advantage in baseball, tonight would be the night.
The Astros have a way of taking the breath out of the home crowd. Yes, Atlanta has all the things we just talked about and more, but they still have to pitch, hit, run, and keep their composure. They are at home, so we believe in their confidence. This Braves team won’t back down for anybody. Neither will the Astros.
Tonight’s game will be loud, the tomahawk chop will be out in full force, it will be fun, because the World series is back in Atlanta. Call a great offshore bookmaker right now and add them to your betting portfolio. The online sports bookie guys can give you many options that domestic sportsbooks can’t, it’s great to have both.
Kyle Parker Preview and Prediction: Braves -111, Over 8.5
