Key Stats

Atlanta Braves

The winless Braves are scheduled to start RHP Bryce Elder (2-5, 6.52 ERA, 1.163 WHIP in 2024). Elder is 0-1 lifetime with a 5.28 ERA and 14 strikeouts in 3 career appearances vs Los Angeles. Atlanta have struggled as they lost each of the previous five games. Heading into Tuesday night’s game, Atlanta had been awful at the plate, scoring the fewest runs in MLB (8). Michael Harris (.158), Austin Riley (.111), Matt Olson (.143), and Marcell Ozuna (.167) all had batting averages under .200 while Jurickson Profar (.200) just received an 80-day drug suspension for using PEDs. This team could not have asked for a worse start. Another sweep looks imminent.

Los Angeles Dodgers

The Dodgers are scheduled to start LHP Blake Snell (1-0, 3.60 ERA, 1.80 WHIP) in this final game of this series between two NL heavyweights. After winning the AL Cy Young Award with the Rays and the NL Cy Young Award with the Padres, the southpaw will look to win the award for the Dodgers (+240 to win the 2025 MLB World Series, FanDuel).

Snell is 5-3 lifetime with a 3.12 ERA vs the Braves with 145 strikeouts in 104 innings pitched. Los Angeles started the season winning its first 7 games, 2 in Japan vs the Cubs in the opening series of the 2025 MLB Regular Season. Of note, Freddie Freeman is out after slipping in the shower. Rinse. Don’t repeat.

Dodgers Betting Trends

• Los Angeles is 10-1 in its last 11 games dating back to last season
• The Dodgers are 6-1 on the Run Line (-1.5) in 2025
• Los Angeles went 19-12 vs the NL East last year
• The Dodgers went 52-29 at Home last 2024 MLB season
• Betts and Freeman have both yet to strike out this season

Prediction

2024 NL Cy Young Award winner Chris Sale held the Dodgers in check as long as he could at Blue Heaven on Earth on Tuesday, but the home team did what it does best, rallying to win the game and send the Braves to their sixth straight setback. Atlanta just can’t hit now, and if the visitors couldn’t get a victory with Sale on the bump, it’s hard to see them winning against a motivated Snell. With the high number, this may be a good parlay element with another MLB side like the Phillies or maybe the Avalanche in the NHL.
