Luis Garcia is 0-1 in the postseason, posting a 7.94 ERA and 1.50 WHIP in four starts.

With starters Jake Arrieta and Tyler Chatwood alternating starts, the club went on a 10-game winning streak from May 11 to 20.

How Can The Atlanta Braves Win The World Series?

The Astros may need only one or two good innings to win.In the ALCS, we’ve seen them do it to Boston, and we saw it again in Game 2 when the bats were able to string together numerous hits in the second inning to build a 5-1 lead. Being up first is actually beneficial for this club.

How Can The Houston Astros Win The World Series?

The key for the Braves will be to withstand an early Astros assault in Game 2. In Game 1, the Braves were able to keep Houston’s bats quiet, allowing just two runs and eight hits – clearly, however, they were not able to do so in Game 2.They’ll need Anderson to keep up his superb postseason performance if they want to reclaim the series lead in Game 3.
