It's over.

The hex is on.

If you're familiar with the Sports Illustrated cover jinx, you'll want to put your rally caps on.

SI's posteseason preview issue features swimsuit covergirl Kate Upton alongside Braves outfielders B.J. and Justin Upton. The cover is tagged to a story headlined "Can the Uptons power Atlanta?" The story is accompanied with pictures the three Uptons - who joke they are long-lost cousins - shot last month at Citi Field when the Braves played the New York Mets.

The Braves, who claimed the NL East Division title for the first time since 2005, face the Los Angeles Dodges in the National League Division Series starting Thursday in Atlanta.

The last time the Braves met the Dodgers in the postseason was in the 1996 NLDS, which the Braves swept in three games.

Well, the good thing is Atlanta can now claim it has the sexiest fan.
