The Houston Astros and Atlanta Braves are set to face off Game 4 of the 2021 World Series on Saturday night at Truist Park. The Braves lead the best-of-seven series by a count of 2-1 after taking Game 3 at home on Friday. That win in Game 3 was largely owing to seven no-hit innings from Atlanta starter Ian Anderson and a pair of relievers. 

In this one, the Astros will be looking to tie up the series again, while the Braves will be seeking a commanding 3-1 lead. Now here’s how you can watch Saturday night’s game.

How to watch

Date: Saturday, Oct. 30 | Time: 8:09 p.m. ET

Location: Truist Park (Atlanta, Georgia)

TV: FOX | Live stream: fuboTV (try for free)

Odds: TBA

Starting pitchers: Zack Greinke (11-6, 4.16 ERA) vs. TBA

Preview

Greinke, who in essence has replaced the injured Lance McCullers Jr. in the postseason rotation, draws the start for Houston. This could be a prelude to a bullpen game, but manager Dusty Baker on Friday night suggested that he’d ride Greinke as long as he can in Game 4. In Greinke’s previous two starts this postseason, he lasted one inning and 1 1/3 innings, respectively. 

On the other side, Braves manager Brian Snitker will go with a bullpen game. At this writing, he hasn’t yet named his opener, but it could be Drew Smyly or Jesse Chavez. The Atlanta bullpen has been used heavily this postseason, and Game 4 will of course be no exception. 

Prediction

The Astros even the series, as they win this battle of the bullpens. That’s because of their superior depth in the pen and the fact that Baker’s relievers may be a bit fresher at the moment. 

Pick: Astros 5, Braves 3
