    Houston made one helluva run. I dont think that luck can continue, Braves should win that in 4.

    I don't have a dog in the fight so I can be a little bit objective. Pitching wins in the post season and Houston has IMO the best 1-2 punch in the NL. What team has more post season pitching than Clemens and company? Clemens probably has more post season starts than does the Braves pitching staff combined. I am betting the Astros win in 4. I would have loved to see the Braves play the Dodgers. The Cardinals will probably sweep them.

    I disagree. Clemmons is the ultimate Game 1 guy but Oswalt has never done a thing in postseason.

    IMO, this is the biggest game 1 of all the divisional series. If Atlanta can somehow get by Clemmons in game 1, I think they have a good chance of a sweep. Reason why I feel that way is because Atlanta needs to come out and get hot early so they can get all the confidence. That more than anything else has been Atlanta's problem the last few years in the playoffs, and that is dead bats in the divisional series. If Houston wins game 1, then not only does it take the homefield away from Atlanta, but I think it sends Atlanta back into that typical postseason demise.
