Run line/Against the spread
Each of the Dodgers’ victories this season was by at least 2 runs. They have been favored in every game this season and are 8-2 ATS.
The Braves are 4-8 ATS this season but 2-2 ATS as underdogs. They lost by 3 runs to the Dodgers in the series opener.
I like the Dodgers here and because of the value, betting the spread has a better payout than the money line. Take the DODGERS -1.5 (+135).
Over/Under
Seven of the Dodgers’ 10 games this season have had at least 8 runs.
Seven of the Braves’ 12 games have finished with at least eight runs, including Monday’s 11-run opener.
