The Braves have not won the World Series since 1995. Now, they are just a win away from the fourth World Series title in franchise history. Show Atlanta showed in Game 1 that it can beat the Astros with plenty of firepower, winning 6-2. But in their past two wins, the Braves have done it with timely hits and lockdown pitching. They outscored the Astros just 5-3 combined in Games 3 and 4, but that was enough to give them a 3-1 series advantage. With its back to the wall, Houston will put the ball in the hands of its Game 1 starter, southpaw Framber Valdez, while the Braves are set to have another bullpen game in Game 5 on Sunday. MORE: Why did the Braves pull Ian Anderson? Fresh off perhaps the best start of the postseason, Valdez was rocked in Game 1 by Atlanta as he lasted just two innings and failed to retire a batter in the third. He allowed five earned runs on eight hits — two home runs — with a walk and two strikeouts in Atlanta's eventual rout. He gave up just one run on three hits over eight innings, with one walk and five strikeouts, in a Game 5 win over the Red Sox in the ALCS. The Braves' bullpen-game strategy Saturday worked well. While Dylan Lee, making his first career start, put himself in hot water in the first inning, Kyle Wright delivered a solid performance over the next 4 2/3 innings to keep Houston in check. He handed the ball off to Chris Martin, Tyler Matzek, Luke Jackson and Will Smith, who each threw a scoreless frame. The Braves have not yet announced who will start Game 5.
