Dodgers @ Braves – First Pitch: 7:20 p.m.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are facing off against the Atlanta Braves in an exciting clash. The Dodgers will be sending Bobby Miller on the mound for his major league debut, while the Braves counter with Spencer Strider, who, despite being their ace, has given up at least four earned runs in two of his last four starts. Even though not playing their best baseball recently, Atlanta is a -201 favorite today. The game’s total is listed at 8.5. This brings up some pertinent questions: can Miller hold his own against the Braves, and will Strider bounce back against the strong Dodgers lineup?
Both pitchers will undoubtedly be put to the test in this game. Miller, known for his 100 mph fastballs, will have to prove he can manage major league-level hitters. Strider, despite his recent wobbles, will be up against a formidable LA lineup. Both these teams have proven their ability to pile up runs, but with the wind blowing in from left-center field and temperatures under 70 degrees, this could impact the game.
Typically, Truist Park sees high-scoring games due to the ball’s tendency to fly out, but with the given conditions, this game might deviate from that pattern. One betting angle to consider could be the first five innings under, anticipating that both Strider and Miller might experience some early success and amass a few strikeouts, limiting runs in the initial stages of the game.
Strider, having an impressive 42% strikeout rate over the last 30 days, will be a key player to watch. This should make for an intriguing contest between the Dodgers and the Braves, especially with such a potent lineup facing a dominant pitcher.
