The Los Angeles Dodgers may have stumbled at the start of their 10-game road trip, losing three out of four games to the St. Louis Cardinals. However, they bounced back in the first game of this series, pulling off an incredible comeback to win 8-6 after being down by four runs.
The Dodgers once again showed off their potent offense, which ranks fourth in the MLB with an average of 5.57 runs per game and a collective AVG. of .234. However, their pitching struggled yet again on the road, with rookie Gavin Stone giving up five runs in just 4.0 innings of work. In Game 2, the team will look to right-hander Bobby Miller to improve their performance on the mound.
The 24-year-old will be making his MLB debut after posting a poor 5.65 ERA in 14.1 innings of work in Triple A in 2023.
Starting pitcher: Bobby Miller (0-0, 0.00 EFE).
Betting on the Atlanta Braves
- Season record 2023: 29-18
- DraftKings Moneyline: -210
- DraftKings Rune Line: -1.5, +100
- DraftKings Over/Under: 8.5
The Braves continued their inconsistent form yesterday with just four wins in their last seven games. Despite this, they remain at the top of the National League East Division with a 4.5-game lead over the New York Mets, their closest pursuer.
The four-time World Series champions have had an impressive offensive performance, averaging 5.30 runs per game thanks to Ronald Acuña Jr., who has regained his form after being plagued by injuries for the past two years. Acuña Jr. boasts a .346 AVG (2nd in the MLB), 11 home runs, 27 RBIs, and 19 stolen bases.
Taking the mound for the Braves in this game will be Spencer Strider, who has a very good ERA of 2.96. However, he has faced some recent struggles allowing up to four runs in two of his last four outings against teams with similar offensive talents as the Dodgers, such as the Texas Rangers and the Mets.
Starting pitcher: Spencer Strider (4-1, 2.96 EFE).
JefeBet Prediction
The Dodgers continue to showcase their impressive performance night after night, and they will most likely do the same against Strider, who hasn’t been so dominant in his recent appearances. Moreover, they were able to cause significant damage to the Braves’ bullpen yesterday.
However, the Atlanta team boasts great offensive tools as well and shouldn’t have major difficulties exposing young Miller, who didn’t perform well in the few innings he pitched in the Minor Leagues this season.
With both starting pitchers lacking confidence, we expect the powerful offenses to control the pace of this game and provide us with another entertaining match full of runs.
Prediction: Atlanta Braves Moneyline and Over (LAD 4-7 ATL).
