T.M. Selection: Dodgers/Braves OVER.

I am on the over in the LA Dodgers vs Atlanta Braves game on Saturday. The 1st game of this series stayed under the posted total but the Braves have been putting up a ton of runs in their games lately and have had 7+ runs total in 3 games in a row before their previous game. The Dodgers have also been putting up a ton of runs in their games with 5 games in a row seeing 8+ runs before their previous game and I expect this game to be another high scoring one. Mitch White (1-1, 3.86 ERA) is up for the Dodgers here and he hasn't had many starts this year since that isn't his usual role but he doesn't really pitch deep into his starts either and he has been giving up some runs in his previous few starts. I think the Braves will put up some runs on him here. Max Fried (7-2, 2.77 ERA) is up for the Braves here and he has been good all year but lately he has looked a bit shaky in his starts and has been giving up some runs in those games. He just had a great start in his most recent game where he gave up 1 run after 7 innings pitched but the game before that he gave up 4 runs in 5 innings and I expect the Dodgers to bring in some runs on him with that really good lineup of theirs. Both of these teams have great lineups that have been putting up a ton of runs in their games lately and I don't see this game being any different from those. The pitching isn't great in this game either and I expect there to be runs. I like the over in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 8-6 Braves.
