In this article, we will formulate a Braves vs Dodgers prediction for this MLB game on Monday, March 31, at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California. Let’s take a look at the prediction for this MLB matchup.

Atlanta Braves Betting Preview

The Atlanta Braves (0-4, 0-4 Away) disappointingly opened a new season after being swept by the San Diego Padres in a four-game series. They were somewhat solid offensively in the first two games, in which the Braves lost 7-4 and 4-3, but then failed to score a single run in 1-0 and 5-0 defeats. Utterly shocking for one of the best offenses in the MLB. Atlanta continued where it left off last season, when the Braves' campaign ended with a 2-0 loss in the Wild Card round to the Padres.

This season, the Braves average 1.75 runs per game (28th in the MLB) on a .148/.246/.238 triple-slash. When it comes to pitching, the Braves’ staff has a 4.78 ERA (22nd) and 1.40 WHIP (24th). Ozzie Albies leads the Braves with a .133 batting average, one home run, and three RBI this season.

The projected starting pitcher for the Braves is Grant Holmes, who pitched for just 1.0 inning last year. In 2024, Holmes had a 2-1 record in seven starts, with a 3.56 ERA and 1.19 WHIP over 68.1 innings.

Los Angeles Dodgers Betting Preview

The Los Angeles Dodgers (5-0, 3-0 Home) are just one of four unbeaten teams in the MLB following the opening series of the season. They beat the Chicago Cubs in a two-game series in Tokyo and then swept the Detroit Tigers in a three-game series in Los Angeles. They are the most serious contenders to win the World Series and defend their title.

This year, the Dodgers average 6.00 runs per game (6th in the MLB) on a .224/.315/.503 slash line. The Dodgers’ pitching staff has a 2.93 ERA (11th) and 1.28 WHIP (19th). Teoscar Hernandez is the best offensive player for the Dodgers, with a .158 batting average, one home run, and six RBI last season.

Tyler Glasnow will take the mound for the Dodgers on Monday. The 31-year-old right-hander had a 9-8 record last season in 22 starts with a 3.49 ERA and 0.95 in 134.0 innings.

Why the  Dodgers will beat the Braves

  • The Braves have lost each of their last seven games against NL West opponents that held a winning record.
  • The home team has won each of the Braves' last seven games.
  • The Dodgers have covered the run line in eight of their last nine games against NL East opponents that held a losing record.
  • The Braves have failed to cover the run line in nine of their last 10 Monday games against National League opponents.
  • The Braves have lost the first inning in three of their last four road games against NL West opponents.
  • The Dodgers have led after 3 innings in five of their last six night games against NL East opponents that held a losing record.
  • The Braves have trailed after 5 innings in each of their last four games at Dodger Stadium.

Total Runs Facts

  • Each of the Dodgers' last 11 games as favorites against NL East opponents have gone OVER the total runs line.
  • The 'Inning 1 OVER 0.5 runs' market has hit in eight of the Braves' last nine road games against National League opponents.
  • The 'Inning 1 OVER 0.5 runs' market has hit in seven of the Dodgers' last eight games as home favorites against NL East opponents.

Braves vs Dodgers Prediction

The Dodgers won six of the previous ten H2H encounters, including six of the last eight, while the Dodgers were better in each of the past four home games. Grant Holmes is going to struggle against the Dodgers' batters in this one, and I don't think he will last long, but the damage will already be done. Glasnow has solid numbers against the Braves in his career; he allowed a.177 BA, no homers, and four RBI in 62 at-bats so far in his career. Last year, Glasnow started one game and recorded a win against Atlanta, with a 2.57 ERA over 7.0 innings. The pitching matchup is clearly in the Dodgers' favor, and I am backing them to get a win and cover the run line.
