ACTION on pitchers. ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Atlanta Braves -110 over Houston Astros, Friday at 8:09 PM ET – The Braves have been very strong at home in this post-season. Not only is Atlanta a perfect 5-0 in the post-season this year when at home, they also have been red hot as a host dating back to the regular season. The Braves are 10-1 in last 11 home games since a loss to Colorado in mid-September. We are not overly concerned with the pitchers here as we also like the fact that Atlanta is 6-0 when coming off a loss and, after getting blown out on the road in Game 2, we look for them to respond in Game 3 at home where they have been so strong. The pitching match-up - again, we'll take action on pitchers - is expected to be Garcia for Houston versus Anderson for the Braves. Garcia is off a strong start but struggled badly in the two starts prior to that. Also, in the regular season Garcia was much better at home than on the road and, of course, this is a road outing for him. Anderson has been very strong in the post-season and the Braves have gone 12-2 in his home starts and he continues to pitch like much more of a veteran than his young age of 23 would suggest as an experience level. Atlanta once again responds big off a loss and gets it done here. No matter who the starting pitchers are here, we will grab the home team at a very fair price (very small favorite) on the money line in this one and bet Atlanta Braves -110
