My Take on the Game
My take is the Braves need this game badly. A win will give them an important series win and will stop the series losing streak at three. The Braves notoriously have bounced back quite well after tough losses and that is what I will be hoping for today. Pelfrey has struggled of late and could provide the Braves an opportunity to score some runs early. A win is paramount with the Giants and Tim Lincecum looming.
