The Atlanta Braves and Los Angeles Dodgers meet Tuesday in MLB action at Dodger Stadium. The Atlanta Braves need a win after losing six of their last nine games. The Los Angeles Dodgers look to build on their seven-game winning streak.
The Atlanta Braves ave scored 10 runs in their last three games and three or fewer runs in six of their last 10 games. The Braves have lost five straight games when scoring three or fewer runs. Matt Olson leads the Braves with 16 hits and 2 RBI, while Marcell Ozuna and Adam Duvall have combined for 24 hits and 14 RBI. Max Fried gets the ball, and he is 0-2 with a 5.73 ERA and 9 strikeouts this season. Fried is 1-2 with a 4.30 ERA and 29 strikeouts in his career against the Dodgers.
The Los Angeles Dodgers have scored 21 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in seven of their last eight games. The Dodgers are 7-1 this season when scoring four or more runs. Trea Turner leads the Dodgers with 13 hits and 10 RBI, while Freddie Freeman and Chris Taylor have combined for 23 hits and 11 RBI. Walker Buehler gets the ball, and he is 1-0 with a 3.38 ERA and 9 strikeouts this season. Buehler is 2-0 with a 2.79 ERA and 17 strikeouts in his career against the Braves.
The Braves are 11-5 in their last 16 road games and 28-13 in their last 41 overall. The Dodgers are 43-12 in their last 55 home games and 54-19 in their last 73 overall. The under is 4-1 in Braves last 5 overall. The over is 4-1 in Dodgers last 5 overall. The Braves are 17-36 in the last 53 meetings in Los Angeles.
Max Fried has been rocked in his first two starts, allowing 15 hits and seven earned runs through 11 innings, and going to Dodger Stadium isn’t the spot where you turn things around. The Los Angeles Dodgers are in regular season form and Walker Buehler is great at home, which includes a 2.05 ERA and .192 allowed batting average last season. Give me the Dodgers and the somewhat reasonable price.
