The Dodgers send out Brett Anderson in this one. He’s had some bad luck in his last two starts, pitching well but earning a loss and a no decision.

He ramped up his strikeout rate in a big way, fanning eight and then seven batters in those two outings, respectively.

His last start came at the San Francisco Giants. In that outing he lasted into the seventh inning in what was his longest outing of the season. He allowed three runs on seven hits in that game, earning the loss on a day in which the Dodgers failed to score a run in a 4-0 defeat.

The Braves counter with Williams Perez. Despite posting a 15.43 ERA in two relief appearances, Perez was moved into the starting rotation.

He played with fire in a start against the punchless Tampa Bay Rays, but was able to escape a few jams and exit allowing just one run over five innings of work, earning a no decision in an eventual 2-1 Braves win.

FREE Braves vs. Dodgers Pick:

The Dodgers have an impressive overall record and they’ve done it on the back of a terrific home record. Los Angeles is 19-5 at home this season.

Additionally, Perez figures to see his luck come to an end here and get hit around by a potent Dodger lineup, while Anderson will likely give up some hits to a red hot Braves lineup.
