Wednesday's Games
Starting pitchers' stats aren't as critical as they are during regular season, since managers will have quicker hook in these playoff games. Fifth starters during regular season are now long men in bullpen; pitching quality is better.

Pettitte lost 4-1 at Turner Field May 7, allowing three runs in seven IP.

Atlanta is 7-2 in his last nine starts, overall, 4-1 in last five at home.

Over is 5-2 in Wells' last seven road starts; he gave up five runs in 6.2 IP at this site on August 12, in game Boston later won, 9-8.

Wednesday's game
Last time Miami faced Northern Illinois, three years ago, they led 27-7 in third quarter, held ball for over 44:00 and somehow lost 48-41, as 8-point favorites. Miami is on two-game win streak (27-10/44-16); three of last 4 games went over total. Red Hawks are 8-6 in last 14 as a road underdog, 0-1 this season.

NIU is 1-3, losing its last game in OT at home vs Akron as a 6.5-point road favorite- they also lost another game 38-37 at Northwestern when they went for two on final play, and not the tying PAT, so they're little snakebit. Huskies are minus-7 in turnovers this season- their only win was vs a I-AA team. All three NIU losses were on road; they've covered 11 of their last 15 home games.
