Run line/Against the spread
This is only the second game all season the Dodgers are not favored. They are 1-0 ATS as the underdog this season.
The Braves are only 25-29 ATS when favored. However, in the 18 wins in their last 22 games, 13 have been by more than 1 run. Their last 3 wins have been by only 1 run, but 13 of the 15 victories before that were by 2 or more.
They are 15-24 ATS at home, but having won Fried’s last 6 starts and 4 of those by at least 2 runs, this is my favorite bet of the night. Take the BRAVES -1.5 (+135).
Over/Under
Three of the 4 games between the Dodgers and Braves have had fewer than 9 runs.
Twelve of the Braves’ last 22 games have stayed under 9 runs, including 4 of the last 6. Three of Fried’s last 4 starts have stayed under 9 runs.
Take UNDER 8.5 (-105).
