Los Angeles at Atlanta

The Atlanta Braves fell in game one to the likely Cy Young award winner in the National League. They look to even up the series today at home. The Braves were the best home team in baseball in the regular season at 56-25, and nobody was better at coming back off a home loss, where they were 19-5 on the season. They will try and do so behind Mike Minor who had a breakout season, posting 13 wins and a 3.21 ERA. The Dodgers have shown few chinks in the armor since going on a tear to go from playoffs doubtful, to playoffs favorite. There has been one exception however, and that is their recent track record against left-handed pitching where they are 3-9 in their last 12 against them. The Blue and White have also failed four straight times after scoring 5 or more runs in their last game. The Braves are 23-6 in their last 29 at home vs. a winning team, and stand at 8-0 behind Minor vs. the NL West in his last eight. Go with the Braves.
