Houston at Atlanta 7:15 ET
Braves over Astros- Cristian Javier (7-8, 2.96 ERA) is slated to start Saturday for the Astros against fellow Braves right-hander Spencer Strider (7-4, 3.04). Atlanta has won 10 of the last 11 games and their surge began after they lost four of five to the Mets in a series. Javier has never faced the Braves in the regular season, although he was 0-1 with a 12.20 ERA in three relief appearances against Atlanta in the World Series. The Astros will face Strider for the first time and they will not like it. Take ATLANTA!
