Are We Looking at a Braves-Astros World Series?

Both the Atlanta Braves and Houston Astros find themselves a win away from the Fall Classic.

Atlanta took care of the LA Dodgers 9-2 on Wednesday night in LA to take a 3-1 series lead in their best-of-seven series. The Braves were led by huge nights from Eddie Rosario (4-of-5, 2 HR, 4 RBI) and Freddie Freeman (2-of-4, HR and 2 RBI) in the victory.

Rosario has been unstoppable this postseason, hitting .467 with two homers and eight RBI in eight playoff games for Atlanta this year. He has also hit safely in every single playoff game. And, he has two four-hit games against LA just in this series alone.

Atlanta has been here before. They were up 3-1 on the Dodgers last year, before LA stormed back to win the series en route to a World Series title over Tampa Bay.

This year feels a little different.

The Braves have a lot of magic right now. They are winning games in walk-off fashion, and shook off a disappointing Game 3 loss with an offensive showcase in Game 4.  Plus with no Clayton Kershaw available to them, the Dodgers are in big trouble.

The Braves haven't been to the World Series since 1999 when they were swept by the Yankees.

Meanwhile, the Astros are looking to clinch their third trip to the Fall Classic in five years.

In a series that looked like it would belong to Boston, has totally flipped.  It all started with Houston's stunning seven-run rally in the ninth inning of Game 4 to come away with a 9-2 victory. On Wednesday, Houston won going away 9-1 in Fenway Park.

Yordan Alvarez had three hits and three RBI for the Astros, while starting pitcher Framber Valdez carried a perfect game into the fifth inning.

In a postseason where starters are not going longer that three or four innings, Valdez dominated the Red Sox over eight innings of three hit ball.

The Astros have a chance to finish off the Red Sox on Friday night down in Houston.
