Houston, Texas. The Astros defeated our Braves 7-2 last night, but the good news is they don’t play today, because it’s a travel day in the Series. The two combatants resume play on Friday night in Atlanta, GA. Houston was the better team last night, and were able to add on runs and have outstanding pitching. That’s why the series is tied at one. You have got to give Houston credit for what they were able to do. It takes a lot of resiliency in baseball, and you have to have the art of pitching to be a good team. Friday’s starting pitchers will be Ian Anderson for Atlanta, and Luis Garcia for the Astros. My prediction is Atlanta 5, Houston 2.
