Atlanta Braves
After toppling Miami, Atlanta hopes to sustain momentum tonight when the bar rises against NL West leader Los Angeles. Last season, the Dodgers earned an 8-3 record vs. Atlanta -including a dominant 3-1 NLDS ouster.
The Braves are chomping at the bit to gain retribution for that anticlimactic postseason exit.
In his sophomore campaign, tonight’s starting Atlanta pitcher Max Fried was 0-1 vs. Los Angeles. LAD roughed up Fried 5-1 during a July 28, 2018 loss.
This year, however, at just 23-years-old Fried has become Atlanta’s early ace. Blessed with natural poise and plate command, Fried carries Atlanta’s struggling staff on his shoulders while allowing just 31 hits and 10 runs during 38 innings pitched.
The inconsistent Braves will need deep west coast innings from Fried as the team’s bullpen is shaky.

Another key element for Atlanta’s chances tonight is capitalizing with runners in scoring position. The Braves own MLB’s tenth-best offense by runs scored and also bat an NL-leading .268, but Brian Snitker’s men have lacked RBI’s against quality opposition.
Los Angeles Dodgers
And, perched atop the NL West, Los Angeles is certainly quality opposition. As of this writing the Dodgers have won seven-of-nine, including two consecutive vs. San Diego.
Walker Buehler takes the hill tonight for LAD. Buehler split his two appearances last season against Atlanta and is starting 2019 strong after claiming three wins and no defeats.
Also just 23, Buehler has limited his opposition to 29 hits, while punching out 24 in 29 innings this year.

Supporting Buehler’s cause is an array of powerful bats, led by red-hot Cody Bellinger. Through 33 games Bellinger is hitting an absurd .415, with 14 homers and 38 RBI.
Further, Los Angeles is tops among NL teams in runs scored, second in home runs and second in slugging percentage.

Free Atlanta Braves vs. Los Angeles Dodgers MLB Prediction:
Today’s contest pits two rising pitchers and strong offenses head-to-head. The differences, though subtle, will ultimately play out in favor of a Los Angeles group knocking on the door for a World Series ring.
4* Free MLB Betting Pick:
Atlanta isn’t on par with the Dodgers and LA’s situational power will overcome the Braves’ quality effort. The run total should be low as each team sends out top-tier pitching this evening.
