22ng July – 03:10 – Dodger Stadium, L. Angeles.
The Los Angeles Dodgers and the Atlanta Braves meet on Saturday at Dodger Stadium in the second game of four in their latest series. The Braves shocked everyone by taking the first match 6-3 and with the home side not having suffered back to back defeats since June, it will be interesting to see how they recover for game two. Read our big match analysis below.
Having won for the first time in eleven trips to LA, the ATL Braves will be striding out in game two believing they have every chance of taking the second game in the series too. Alex Wood and the Dodgers will think differently, however, as LA look to send the visitors packing back to the MLB National League East.
Red hot pitcher Alex Wood will take the ball first for the home team. He is 11-0 with 101 strikeouts and a 1.56 ERA so far this campaign. It will only be Wood's second ever match against ATL. The visitor’s sensational hitter Ender Inciarte has 123 hits and 39 RBI this season. The Venezuelan will have to be in top form on Friday night if his team are to win again and defy our betting tips.
Let’s analyse the teams’ latest performances before detailing our LA Dodgers vs Atlanta Braves betting pick. Despite losing 3-6 last night against the Bravos, the home outfit are 11-0 in Wood’s last 11 starts and 41-10 in their last 51 games overall. The visiting team were swept 3-0 in their triple header against the Chicago Cubs before they travelled to California. They are, however, 15-5 in their last 20 ties against teams from the National League West.
The Braves win last night was made all the more remarkable given their recent history against LA. The away team are 1-10 in the last 11 meetings in Los Angeles and 5-16 in the last 21 meetings overall.
Even with Thursday’s unlikely win taken into account, our LA Dodgers vs Atlanta Braves prediction is still a home win. The Boys in Blue haven’t lost successive games in over a month. There is no reason to think that their winning streak coming to an end will affect them long-term. They are still favourites to win their first World Series since ’88 and are also tipped to win on Friday.
Our free pick is a straight win for the LAD at 16/47 with Betsson. That price might not blow you away, but it’s still a solid wager to place. Taking under 9.5 runs at 1.4 with Betsson might tempt you further if you want to delve into that game line.
