Notes On The Atlanta Braves For Game 6

The Atlanta Braves’ two home games in the 2021 World Series have both been won thanks to outstanding pitching. In Game 3, they held the Houston Astros to just two hits while blanking them with only a few errors.

Tuesday’s starter is Max Fried, who will aim to bounce back after his poor performance in Game 1 at Minute Maid Park. He surrendered six earned runs on seven hits and a walk across five innings during Game 2, lowering his ERA to 7.47 in the series.

The Braves bullpen has recorded a 3.24 ERA, 1.23 WHIP, and a .233 batting average against in 72.1 innings of work in October. On the other side of the ball, Atlanta has played well with an average of .246/.310/.431 and 8 home runs in this series so far.

Notes On The Houston Astros For Game 6

The Houston Astros finally got some hits in Game 5. They got 12 hits and six walks. Yuli Gurriel went 3-for-5 and scored a couple of runs, while Martin Maldonado drove three runs home to help the Astros win with a score of 9-5 as the road team favorite.

The Astros bullpen in the game last night was excellent. They shut down the Braves. That makes them 5-2 in the postseason with a strong ERA of 2.85, WHIP of 1.10, and batting average against of .212 across 75.2 innings of work this October.

Luis Garcia will pitch on Tuesday. He is 1-2 with an ERA of 7.62 and a FIP of 4.94 in four starts this postseason. But he pitched well in Game 6 of the 2021 ALCS, giving up no runs in 5.2 innings pitched while walking four batters and giving up three hits.

 2021 World Series Betting Pick & Prediction: Houston Astros -121

I’m picking the Houston Astros to thrive under pressure and force a Game 7. I’m expecting another big offensive performance in front of the home crowd after their offense stepped up and hit the ball hard in Game 5.

The Astros have been hitting lefties well lately. The Astros scored three runs off A.J. MInter in Game 2 of the series, demolishing Max Fried. I have very little confidence in Luis Garcia, but the Houston bullpen has looked outstanding so far this season.

 

The totals in this series are a difficult wager. Both teams have numerous deadly offensive weapons, but their bullpens are also at their best. The under is 3-1-1 in the last five meetings between these two teams, but Game 5 produced 14 runs in total.

I’ll go with the over, trusting in the Braves’ and Astros’ lineups to perform well. Also, fatigue is gradually taking hold, so it wouldn’t be unusual to see a few meltdowns on the mound.
