Tips and predictions for the Dodgers at the Braves

forecast

Braves 6, Dodgers 4

Money line

Simply put, Buehler has not been good since returning from Tommy John surgery. In his last 7 starts, he is 0-2 with a 6.97 ERA. The Braves' bats are good and I hope that continues.

Take the BRAVES -115.

Running Line/Against the Spread

Let's focus on SS Orlando Arcadia here. He went 1-for-3 with 3 RBIs on Saturday and has hit Buehler very well. He is 6-for-11 with a double and 2 home runs in his lifetime against him. Take ORLANDO ARCIA OVER 1.5 H+R+RBIs (+100).

Over/Under

It's supposed to be 76 degrees and a 14 mph wind is blowing from left to right. The over just missed the finish line on Friday and sailed over the finish line on Saturday. Since Buehler allowed so many runs, I like that OVER 9 (+100).
