The set-up: The Braves managed a 1-0 in 13 innings. This series features some sharp starting pitching, but I think that these talented line-ups will be the main story lines in tomorrow's summaries. Ian Anderson (3-1, 1.95 ERA) has made only six starts since being promoted mid-season. The sample size is just too small to draw any real conclusions though and I think he'll struggle in this pressure-packed Playoff situation.

The pick: Luis Castillo (4-6, 3.21) was good for the Reds overall this season and I expect his offense to pick him up here. Cincinnati had 11 hits and left 13 runners on base yesterday and I definitely don't expect that to happen again. Note as well that the Reds have seen the total go "over" the number in eight of their last 11 after getting blanked in a loss in their previous outing and allowing one or less runs in the process. This one has "over" written all over it.

This is a 9* TOTAL PLAY-BOOK on the OVER Reds/Braves.
