Los Angeles Dodgers at Atlanta Braves Predictions & Picks

Los Angeles are tipped to avenge last night’s defeat in Atlanta.

Braves starter AJ Smith-Shawver has been lit up in his limited innings this season, and that does not bode well for a meeting with a Dodgers team who are top three in runs per game.

  • Los Angeles Dodgers are 6-1 in their last 7 games
  • Atlanta pitcher AJ Smith-Shawver has a 6.23 ERA this season
  • The two starting pitchers have a combined ERA of 10.65

Head To Head

  • Los Angeles Dodgers lead the all-time series 1228-1059-22
  • Atlanta Braves won 4-3 when the two teams last met on August 25

Verdict

Los Angeles’ run came to an end last night, but this next meeting is a good opportunity for them to bounce back.

Smith-Shawver has struggled in a limited role this season, and the Dodgers bats can enjoy plenty of success at his expense.
