Atlanta Braves vs Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction
The Braves are a better team than what they’ve shown through six games. I promise. The problem is that it’s hard to put hard-earned dollars on the Braves until they get their act together. The Braves have scored a combined two runs in their last four games. It’s bad, folks. Elder doesn’t provide much hope when he hasn’t pitched this season yet and wasn’t great last season. The Dodgers have everything going for them up to this point, and Snell is an all-star caliber pitcher who consistently shows up. There’s only one way I can go here, as these are two teams heading in different directions. Of course, give me the Dodgers and the RL to shave down the price.
