Houston vs. Atlanta
Who's gonna win and why?

Astros. All those good, veteran starters against all those rookie bats.

Boy, this one's tough. I sure would like to see the Braves win. But one of the articles from THT that Lee referenced suggested that a hot pitching staff is the key determinant, and it's tough to top Clemens, Oswalt, and Pettite. Astros in 5.

I like the Astros, too, but it is an odd series. Two teams that historically lose in the post -season going at it.

Tough call, but I like the Astros' pitching.

I like the Astros for the pitching, and recent history going against the Braves.
