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).

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

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).

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

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

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).
