Here we go.
The Basics
Where: Minute Maid Park
When: 8:09 PM EDT

Starting Pitchers: Luis Garcia (HOU), Max Fried (ATL)
Odds: HOU -130; ATL +110; o/u 9 (u -120) [English translation: Houston’s roughly 55% likely to win; Atlanta’s roughly 45% likely to win; the expected number of runs scored is roughly 8.8]
The Details
Fried had a rough go in Game 2 after some speculation he was tipping pitches against the Dodgers. What happened in Game 2 was mostly doinkers, though, so…
We’ve seen Garcia get great results. We’ve seen Garcia get terrible results. We’ll see. Neither should be on very long a leash.
The Stars
Atlanta has a chance to end this tonight. Houston has a chance to force Game 7. We don’t really know who the stars are going to be. This is a baseball game, and one of the great things about baseball is that on any given night, it can come down to any given guy.
Here we go.
