Maybe the Braves will beat the Astros and win the World Series. But I don't see it happening here in this Game 5.
The Astros have the best offense in baseball having led the majors in runs scored, batting average and on base percentage.
Yet Houston has scored only two runs during the past two games, unable to break through against Atlanta's bullpen.
The Astros are ready to bust loose. They left 11 men on base in Saturday's 3-2 loss, including eight in scoring position.
This is the fifth game in six days and third straight. The Braves' bullpen has fatigue concerns and are forced to use their relief pitchers a lot in this game.
While the Astros have Framber Valdez starting, the Braves likely are going to need Tucker Davidson and Drew Smyly to eat the bulk of the innings in this Game 5. That favors the Astros more than this opening number indicates.
