I like Atlanta. It should be a close game with Jurrgens on the hill for the Braves and NY going with RA Dikcey, but the Mets hurler throws a knuckleball and the cold weather (55 degrees or so) could effect his movement.
Dickey did struggle early last year at home after a start in Miami.
Look for Atlanta to bounce back after a 1-0 loss on Thursday.

Look for the Dodgers to win a low scoring game. Starter Clayton Kershaw won the Cy Young last season with a surprising year. The Dodgers were sold in the offseason and will want to get off to a great start.
The Padres don't have much offense and their park is geared for pitchers. My guess is we see a game in the 3-1 range with LA winning.

The NY Yankees won Game 4 at Detroit and will have home field advantage where they won 65% of their games this year. Justin Verlander is not available to pitch. Doug Fister is solid but will struggle to give up less that 5 runs. I like NY to win by 2 runs and face Texas in the next round.

Philadelphia at Atlanta under 7 (+100)
I like the under on Monday night. Atlanta is trying to stay ahead of the Cardinals for the Wild Card and have to face Cliff Lee, who has great stuff and some consideration for the NL Cy Young.
Lee has been involved in 12 overs and 19 unders this year. His last 3 starts ended with scores of 3-0, 2-1 and 3-2. He has allowed 2 runs or less in his last 9 starts. The team is 21-10 when he takes the mound.
The Braves counter with Randall Delgado and he faces a Phils team that has lost 8 in a row and stuck on 99 wins. The Phils have played unders in 14 of their last 17 games. Delgado has allowed 0, 1, 1, 3, 1 and 3 runs in his starts. The total runs scored in those games were 4, 5, 7, 7, 3 and 8.
It does concern me that the Braves were shut out on Sunday with just a few hits and look to bounce back on Monday but they do face Cliff Lee.
The game looks to be low scoring based on the pitchers and the playoff atmosphere of the Braves needing to win.
