Atlanta and Milwaukee will open up their ALDS Friday afternoon, and I like the Brew Crew as a home favorite here in Game 1.

Brewers righty Corbin Burnes (11-5, 2.43 ERA) will take the ball for this playoff debut, but there's little reason to believe he'll be anything but solid. Burnes was smacked for five runs on nine hits in four innings by Atlanta back in July, but I would not put too much emphasis on such a small sample. Also, the Braves still won the game 9-5 and Burnes finished the regular season with the lowest ERA in the majors.

8* play on Milwaukee Brewers.
