The Braves stole Game 1 in Milwaukee. I think they'll defend the home-field advantage with a win here with right-hander Ian Anderson (9-5, 3.58 ERA) on the mound. Anderson limited the Brew Crew to one run on two hits through six innings of a 5-1 victory on May 15. Anderson posted a 5-1 record in 11 home starts during the regular season and he was 3-0 with a 4.39 ERA five September starts.

Milwaukee righty Freddy Peralta (10-5, 2.81 ERA) was just 1-2 with a 4.70 ERA in five September starts. The Brewers bats were cold down the stretch while Atlanta closed out the regular season as one of the hottest teams in baseball. I expect the Braves to run away with this.

10* play on Atlanta Braves.
