Season series: Dodgers lead 4-2

The Braves won the 1st 2 games of the series, beating the Dodgers 6-2 Friday and 10-1 Saturday. They lost 9-2 Sunday though, closing as a +102 underdog.

Atlanta has won 3 of its last 5 games and sits 3rd in the NL East. It is 42-32 at home this season and 69-80 against the spread (ATS). The Braves are 5-5 over their last 10.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Dodgers at Braves picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 4, Braves 2

Moneyline

BET DODGERS (-120).

The Braves haven’t performed well with Fried on the mound over the last few weeks. They are 2-4 in his last 6 starts and have allowed at least 5 runs in 2 of his last 4 starts. Atlanta, in its last series against a team of the Dodgers caliber, lost 3 of 4 on the road to the Philadelphia Phillies, so it has struggled to consistently beat top teams as well.

The Dodgers are 5-3 over their last 8 road games and have found their offense again, having scored at least 9 in 2 of their last 4. Expect LA to stay hot and take DODGERS (-120).

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

There’s no great value here. The Dodgers are too risky to play as a run-line favorite while the Braves are far too expensive to take as a run-line underdog. Avoid this play.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 7.5 (+100).

The Braves are 4-10 O/U in their last 14 games and have scored 3 of fewer runs in 8 of those 14 games. They have also allowed 3 or fewer runs in 11 of those 14. Atlanta is 56-88-5 O/U.

The Dodgers are 80-65-4 O/U, yet are 1-2 O/U in Yamamoto’s last 3 starts. Considering the Braves trends and the pitching quality starting on the mound, take UNDER 7.5 (+100).

LA Dodgers at Atlanta Braves odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Los Angeles Dodgers at Atlanta Braves odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The LA Dodgers (87-61) take on the Atlanta Braves (81-67) on Sunday Night Baseball in the 3rd game of a 4-game set at Truist Park at 7:10 p.m. ET (ESPN). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s MLB odds around the Dodgers vs. Braves odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Dodgers lead 3-2

The Dodgers have dropped the first 2 games of the series, including a laugher 10-1 Saturday. The Braves lit up RHP Jack Flaherty for 4 ER over 3 IP and poured on 6 more on the bullpen. OF Mookie Betts had a hit and the only RBI in the game. The Dodgers have dropped 4 of 5 and sit 3½ games up on the San Diego Padres.

The Braves have scored 6+ runs in 3 of 4 games and 29 runs over that stretch. 1B Matt Olson is ablaze right now. He went 2-for-5 with 4 RBIs Saturday and has 7 RBIs over a 5-game hitting streak. The Braves hold the last Wild Card spot with the New York Mets right on their heels.

Dodgers at Braves projected starters

RHP Walker Buehler vs. RHP Charlie Morton

Buehler (1-5, 5.95 ERA) makes his 14th start. He has a 1.64 WHIP, 3.2 BB/9 and 7.5 K/9 through 59 innings.

  • Last start: Loss, 5 IP, 5 ER, 9 H, 1 BB, 4 K in 10-4 home defeat Monday against Chicago Cubs
  • 4 career regular-season starts vs. Braves: 2-1, 3.33 ERA, 0.90 WHIP, 19 K in 24 1/3 IP

Morton (8-8, 4.11 ERA) makes his 28th start. He has a 1.32 WHIP, 3.4 BB/9 and 9.4 K/9 through 149 innings.

  • Last start: Loss, 6 2/3 IP, 1 ER, 6 H, 2 BB, 7 K in 1-0 home setback Monday against Cincinnati Reds
  • Last 5 regular-season starts vs. Dodgers: 0-3, 5.13 ERA, 1.48 WHIP, 25 K in 26 1/3 IP

  • Over/Under (O/U): 9 (O: +100 | U: -120)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Dodgers at Braves picks and predictions

Prediction

Braves 6, Dodgers 4

Moneyline

Plain and simple, Buehler has not been good since his return from Tommy John surgery. He’s 0-2 with a 6.97 ERA in his last 7 starts. The Braves’ bats are hot, and I look for it to continue.

Take the BRAVES -115.

Run line/Against the spread

Let’s zone in on SS Orlando Arcia here. He went 1-for-3 with 3 RBIs Saturday and has hit Buehler very well. He’s 6-for-11 with a double and 2 homers lifetime against him. Take ORLANDO ARCIA OVER 1.5 H+R+RBIs (+100).

Over/Under

It’s slated to be 76 degrees with a 14-mph wind blowing left to right. The Over narrowly missed Friday and sailed past the finish line Saturday. With Buehler allowing so many runs, I like the OVER 9 (+100).

The Atlanta Braves (80-67) welcome the LA Dodgers (87-60) to Truist Park Saturday for the 2nd game of their 4-game series. First pitch is set for 7:20 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s MLB odds around the Dodgers vs. Braves odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Dodgers lead 3-1

The Braves beat the Dodgers 6-2 in the series-opening game Friday, closing as a -102 moneyline underdog.

Atlanta has traded off winning and losing over its last 9 games. It went 1-1 in its series before the Washington Nationals. The Braves are 41-31 at home this season and 68-79 against the spread (ATS). They have been hot offensively as of late, tallying 19 runs in their last 3 games.

The Dodgers have lost 3 of their last 4 games yet are 5-5 over their last 10. They lost 2 of 3 to the Chicago Cubs in the series prior. Los Angeles, which sits 1st in the NL West, is 39-33 on the road this season. The Dodgers are 73-74 ATS.

Dodgers at Braves projected starters

RHP Jack Flaherty vs. LHP Chris Sale

Flaherty (12-6, 2.86 ERA) makes his 26th start. He has a 1.01 WHIP, 1.8 BB/9 and 10.9 K/9 through 148 innings.

  • Last start: Win, 7 1/3 IP, 0 ER, 4 H, 0 BB, 6 K in 4-0 home win over the Cleveland Guardians Sunday

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Dodgers at Braves picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 4, Braves 3

Moneyline

BET DODGERS (+110).

The Dodgers are the 2nd-best team in the majors following a loss at 36-23. They brought in Flaherty to be a capable postseason starter, and he delivered in his last start, going 7-plus innings and not allowing a run. He should be able to stay at that level Saturday.

While Sale has been terrific, the Braves haven’t been consistent enough to back. They scored 0 runs Monday then 12 Tuesday and 1 Wednesday. Expect them to come up short as they have been after winning the game prior.

Take DODGERS (+110).

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

There’s no good value here. The Dodgers are far too expensive as a run-line underdog, and the Braves are too risky as a run-line favorite with how well Flaherty has pitched as of late.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 7.5 (-105).

The Braves have gone Under in 4 of their last 5 games and are 2-10 O/U in their last 12. They’ve gone Under in Sale’s last 4 starts and are 54-88-5 O/U on the season.

The Dodgers have been inconsistent offensively as of late. They’ve scored 4 or fewer in 4 of their last 5 games. Los Angeles is 3-3-1 O/U in its last 7. It has gone Under in 2 of Flaherty’s last 3 starts.

Given the caliber of pitching on display, take UNDER 7.5 (-105).

LA Dodgers at Atlanta Braves odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s LA Dodgers at Atlanta Braves odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Atlanta Braves (79-67) welcome the LA Dodgers (87-59) to Truist Park Friday for the 1st game of a 3-game series. First pitch is set for 7:20 p.m. ET (Apple TV+). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s MLB odds around the Dodgers vs. Braves odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Dodgers lead 3-0

The Braves lost 5-1 to the Washington Nationals in the 2nd of their 2-game series Wednesday, closing as a -165 favorite. Atlanta has traded off winning and losing over its last 8 games. It won 2 of 3 against the Toronto Blue Jays in its last 3-game series. The Braves are 40-31 at home and 67-79 against the spread (ATS).

The Dodgers beat the Chicago Cubs 10-8 Wednesday at home, avoiding a sweep with the victory. They allowed at least 6 runs to the Cubs in all 3 games. Los Angeles has lost 2 of its last 3 games and 4 of its last 7. It still sits atop the NL West though. The Dodgers are 39-32 on the road and 73-73 ATS.

Dodgers at Braves projected starters

RHP Landon Knack vs. RHP Spencer Schwellenbach

Knack (2-3, 3.00 ERA) makes his 10th career start and 11th appearance. He has a 0.96 WHIP, 2.2 BB/9 and 8.7 K/9 in 54 IP.

  • Last start: Loss, 6 IP, 2 ER, 3 H, 1 BB, 8 K in 3-1 home loss to the Cleveland Guardians Friday
  • 2024 away stats: 1-0, 3.00 ERA (24 IP, 8 ER), 1.08 WHIP, 7.9 K/9 in 5 appearances (3 starts)
  • First time facing Braves

Schwellenbach (5-7, 3.78 ERA) makes his 18th career start. He has a 1.12 WHIP, 1.8 BB/9 and 9.9 K/9 in 97 2/3 IP.

  • Last start: Loss, 5 IP, 3 ER, 10 H, 0 BB, 3 K in 9-5 road loss to the Toronto Blue Jays Saturday
  • 2024 home stats: 3-4, 4.05 ERA (46 2/3 IP, 21 ER), 1.11 WHIP, 10.6 K/9 in 8 starts

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Dodgers at Braves picks and predictions

Prediction

Braves 5, Dodgers 4

Moneyline

BET BRAVES (-110).

Atlanta is the 7th-best team in the majors following a loss with a 38-28 record. It is 4-0 in its last 4 games after a defeat. The Braves have allowed 3 or fewer runs in 10 of their last 12 games. They have been strong defensively while the Dodgers have given up far too many runs as of late.

Los Angeles has allowed 24 runs in his last 3 games. Knack has started just 1 game since July 23 as well. That resulted in a 3-1 loss to the Cleveland Guardians. Considering those trends, take BRAVES (-110).

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

There’s no value here. Playing a team-specific wager is better served on the moneyline than the spread in this battle.

Over/Under

BET OVER 8.5 (-115).

The Dodgers have gone Over in 3 straight games and are 4-2-1 O/U in their last 7. They have scored 28 runs over their last 5 games and have aforementioned issues with their recent pitching as well. Los Angeles is 78-64-4 O/U on the season.

The Braves have gone Over in 2 of their last 5 games. They are 2-1 O/U in Schwellenbach’s last 3 starts. With rookie pitchers on the mound, either could give up big runs as both teams have potent offenses.

Take OVER 8.5 (-115).

Los Angeles Dodgers at Atlanta Braves odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Los Angeles Dodgers at Atlanta Braves odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Los Angeles Dodgers (31-19) finish out a 3-game series against the Atlanta Braves (29-19) on Wednesday at Truist Park. First pitch is scheduled for 7:20 p.m. ET (MLB Network). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Dodgers vs. Braves odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Dodgers lead 2-0

The Dodgers cruised to an 8-1 victory over the Braves Tuesday. Los Angeles has won 2 games in a row and is 1.5 games ahead of the Arizona Diamondbacks for 1st place in the NL West.

OF Ronald Acuna secured his 20th stolen base (2nd most in the majors behind Oakland Athletics OF Esteury Ruiz) in Tuesday’s 7-run loss. Atlanta is 1-3 in its last 4 games, but it remains in 1st place in the NL East with a 4.5-game cushion over the New York Mets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Dodgers at Braves projected starters

RHP Tony Gonsolin vs. RHP Bryce Elder

Gonsolin (2-1, 1.13 ERA) makes his 6th start. He has a 0.92 WHIP, 3.4 BB/9 and 7.1 K/9 through 24 IP.

  • Hasn’t allowed an ER in any start except on May 1 vs. the Philadelphia Phillies where he allowed 3 ER in 4 2/3 IP
  • Has given up 3 or fewer hits in 4 of his first 5 turns

Elder (3-0, 2.06 ERA) makes his 10th start. He has a 1.15 WHIP, 2.6 BB/9 and 7.7 K/9 through 52 1/3 IP.

  • The Braves have tallied a 7-2 record in Elder starts this season
  • His 3 total HRs allowed all came on Apr. 26 vs. the Miami Marlins

Dodgers at Braves picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 4, Braves 3

Moneyline

Even though it’s hard to see the Braves get swept at home, the DODGERS (+100) have been the better team recently. Los Angeles is 4-1 in the last 5 road meetings in Atlanta and 5-1 in the last 6 meetings overall.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

While I like the Dodgers to win the game outright, getting the run of insurance isn’t worth the -190 odds.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 9.5 (-120).

Both of these teams are certainly capable of scoring plenty of runs in any game they are involved in. That being said, Gonsolin and Elder have been fantastic at limiting runs to begin the season.

The Under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings between these clubs in Atlanta and 5-2 in their last 7 meetings overall.

The Braves got multi-hit performances from OF Eddie Rosario, OF Marcell Ozuna, and SS Orlando Arcia in Monday’s 2-run loss to the Dodgers. Despite winning 4 of its last 10 games, Atlanta is still 4.5 games ahead of the New York Mets for 1st place in the NL East.

Dodgers at Braves projected starters

RHP Bobby Miller vs. RHP Spencer Strider

Miller will make his major league debut. He has a 5.65 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, 3.8 BB/9 and 7.5 K/9 through 14 1/3 IP in Triple-A this season.

  • Has surrendered 3-plus ER in 2 of his 4 starts in Triple-A this season

Dodgers at Braves picks and predictions

Prediction

Braves 6, Dodgers 4

Moneyline

PASS.

With Miller making his 1st career start in the majors and Strider on the mound for the Braves, Atlanta is expected to secure the win. That being said, taking the Braves outright isn’t worth the risk at over -200 odds.

Run line/Against the spread

BRAVES -1.5 (-105) is how I’d wager on the run line with Strider pitching for Atlanta. It’s tough to trust a rookie pitcher on the road against a lineup that’s as loaded as the Braves.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

OVER 8.5 (-105) has solid value despite Strider pitching for the Braves. The Dodgers boast the 2nd best wRC+ against right-handed pitching (115) this season and Miller allowed 3-plus earned runs in 2 of his 4 starts in Triple-A.

The Dodgers are 5-0 to the Over in their last 5 games against right-handed pitching and the Braves are 4-0 to the Over in Strider’s last 4 home starts.

Analyzing Monday’s Los Angeles Dodgers at Atlanta Braves odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Los Angeles Dodgers (29-19) continue their 10-game road trip with a 3-game series against the Atlanta Braves (29-17). First pitch for the opener on Monday is 7:20 p.m. ET at Truist Park. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Dodgers vs. Braves odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Dodgers at Braves picks and predictions

Prediction

Braves 7, Dodgers 5

Moneyline

The Braves are only 12-10 at home, but the Dodgers have not been juggernauts on the road, as they are only 12-12 on the road.

The Dodgers have scored at least 5 runs in 5 straight games and have scored 4 or more in 11 of their last 12 games. However, they have allowed 5 or more runs in 5 of their last 7 games.  The Dodgers allowed 32 runs in their 3 losses to the Cardinals.

The pitching matchup heavily favors Morton over Stone, making only his 2nd start in the majors.

I like the Braves to win this game, but like them to cover so PASS on the moneyline.

Run line/Against the spread

The last 9 games between the Dodgers at Braves have been decided by more than 1 run. Ten of the Dodgers’ last 11 losses have been by at least 2 runs.

BET BRAVES -1.5 (+125).

The last 5 matchups between the 2 teams have not reached 10 total runs. Five of the Braves’ last 7 games have had 10 or more runs. The Dodgers have also had 5 of their last 7 games have 10 or more total runs.

BET OVER 9.5 (+100).

Dodgers at Braves picks and predictions

Prediction

Braves 6, Dodgers 2

Money line

The Dodgers have won their last 4 games, all on the road, and have won 3 of 4 over the Braves so far this season.

However, The Braves have won Fried’s last 6 starts. He has allowed 0 or 1 runs in 4 of his last 5 starts.

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).

NLCS Game 6: Los Angeles Dodgers at Atlanta Braves odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Los Angeles Dodgers at Atlanta Braves NLCS Game 6 odds and lines, with expert MLB picks and predictions.

The Los Angeles Dodgers and Atlanta Braves play Game 6 of the best-of-seven National League Championship Series Saturday. First pitch is slated for 8:08 p.m. ET (on TBS). Let’s analyze the lines around the Dodgers vs. Braves odds with MLB picks and predictions.

The Dodgers avoided elimination and forced the series to return to Atlanta with an 11-2 win in Game 5 Thursday. The Braves still lead the NLCS 3-2, but they’ve been here before. They led the Dodgers 3-1 in last year’s NLCS only to lose the final three games.

Los Angeles’ Chris Taylor, playing 3B in place of injured Justin Turner, hit 3 home runs with 6 RBIs in the Game 5 victory. He became the first player to hit 3 homers in a postseason game for a team facing elimination. LF A.J. Pollock added 2 homers and 4 RBIs in the rout.

Now it’s on to Game 6 where Braves RHP Ian Anderson will make his second start of the NLCS and his third of this postseason. He started Game 2 but lasted only 3 innings, allowing 2 runs on 3 hits and 3 walks with 2 strikeouts in what was an eventual Braves’ 5-4 victory.

  • Regular season: 9-5, 3.58 ERA (128 1/3 IP, 51 ER), 1.23 WHIP, 8.7 K/9, 3.7 BB/9 in 24 starts
  • Postseason: 1-0, 2.25 ERA (8 IP, 2 ER), 6 H, 3 BB, 8 K in two starts
  • Career vs. Dodgers (regular season): 0-1, 4 1/3 IP, 4 ER, 1 H, 3 BB, 6 K in one start this year, a 9-5 loss in Atlanta June 4

The Dodgers will start RHP Walker Buehler on three days’ rest. He replaces RHP Max Scherzer, who was scratched Friday night due to arm fatigue. Buehler will be making his second start in the NLCS. He is 0-1 with a 3.77 ERA (14 1/3 IP, 6 ER) in three starts this postseason.

  • Last outing: No-decision, 3 2/3 IP, 4 R (2 ER), 6 H, 3 BB, 3 K in Game 3 Tuesday, a 6-5 Dodgers victory
  • Regular season: 16-4, 2.47 ERA (207 2/3 IP, 57 ER), 0.97 WHIP, 9.2 K/9, 2.3 BB/9 in 33 starts
  • Career vs. Braves (regular season): 2-0, 2.79 ERA (19 1/3 IP, 6 ER), 11 H, 2 BB, 17 K in three starts

Prediction

Braves 4, Dodgers 3

Money line (ML)

ATLANTA (+130) is the STRONGEST PLAY – 1½ times your usual wager.

The Braves are 4-0 at home this postseason, including back-to-back walk-off victories vs. the Dodgers in the first two games of the NLCS.

Including the regular season, they’re 9-1 in their last 10 home games.

Meanwhile, Anderson went 5-1 with a 3.52 ERA in 11 regular-season home starts in 2021.

The Braves were 9-2 in those 11 starts and won both of his postseason starts.

While Buehler was a stud during the regular season, he’s been average during the playoffs and he can’t be trusted on short rest.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

PASS since we’re invested in Atlanta’s money line.

However, if you want a little insurance, divvying up part of the ML wager with Atlanta +1.5 (-130) wouldn’t be terrible. You just have to pay a little juice. Atlanta is 4-1 ATS in this series.

ATS records:

  • Regular season: Braves 78-83 | Dodgers 82-80
  • Postseason: Braves 7-2 | Dodgers 5-6

Over/Under (O/U)

BACK UNDER 8.5 (-122) to WIN 0.4 UNITS.

The Over is 4-1 in this series with only Game 1 cashing an Under ticket, but expect pitching, including the bullpens, to dominate with an “all arms on deck” approach.

O/U records:

  • Regular season: Braves 74-78-9 | Dodgers 71-81-10
  • Postseason: Braves 5-4 | Dodgers 6-5

Los Angeles Dodgers at Atlanta Braves Game 2 odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s Los Angeles Dodgers at Atlanta Braves Game 2 odds and lines, with expert MLB picks and predictions.

The Los Angeles Dodgers look to bounce back from a tough Game 1 loss when they meet the Atlanta Braves Sunday. First pitch is set for 7:38 p.m. ET at Truist Park. Let’s analyze the lines around the Dodgers vs. Braves odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Dodgers RHP Max Scherzer is expected to make his third start of the postseason. During the regular season he was 15-4 with a 2.46 ERA. 0.86 WHIP, 1.8 BB/9 and 11.8 K/9 through 179 1/3 IP across 30 starts.

  • Scherzer faced the Braves twice this season, and on both occasions racked up 9 K in 6 IP. He allowed a total of 4 ER across 12 IP in the two starts.
  • He allowed 5 ER in each of his last two regular season starts, but he has turned things around in the playoffs. In three appearances (two starts) he has put up a 1.46 ERA and 11.7 K/9.

Braves RHP Ian Anderson is set to make his second postseason start in Game 2. During the regular season he was 9.5 with a 3.58 ERA, a 1.23 WHIP, 3.7 BB/9 and 8.7 K/9 through 128 1/3 IP.

  • In his first playoff start he hurled five shutout innings against Milwaukee in Game 3 of the divisional round.
  • In 11 home starts this season Anderson has recorded a 3.52 ERA and 8.4 K/9 along with a 0.9 HR/9.

Prediction

Dodgers 4, Braves 3

Money line (ML)

Scherzer joined the Dodgers at the trade deadline, and they had won all 12 of his starts before last week’s 1-0 loss to the Giants, one that certainly can’t be blamed on him. They also tied for the third-best road record in the league at 48-33.

Even so, this is a little too much to lay against a hot Atlanta team in their home park. It’s probably best to PASS on the money line.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

Anderson had some issues with the long ball late in the year but has allowed just 3 ER in 18 IP over his last three starts. He boasts an impressive 15.2% swinging strike rate in his last five trips to the mound.

The Braves face a very tough test today against Scherzer, but they have won eight of their last nine at home. Even if they fall short, look for them to keep it close throughout. Back the BRAVES +1.5 (-112)

Over/Under (O/U)

The under has hit in five of Atlanta’s last six game and in five of the last seven for the Dodgers. The total has also slid in under in each of the last five meetings between these two teams.

With Scherzer and Anderson on the mound, runs will be hard to come by again. UNDER 7.5 (-115) is the side to take in this one as we could be in for a pitchers’ duel.
