The Atlanta Braves have a 76-55 record this season and sit in first place in the NL East. They have a 42-23 home record and are coming off a 4-2 home win against the Milwaukee Brewers. They will face the Colorado Rockies and the San Francisco Giants next.
The Atlanta Braves have a .246 batting average this season, .311 OBP, and .411 slugging percentage. Atlanta’s pitching staff has a 3.60 ERA and 1.25 WHIP. Michael Harris II is the Braves’ best hitter with a .294 batting average. Matt Olson leads the team in RBI with 77, also adding a team-high 36 home runs.
Bryce Elder (RHP) is the projected starting pitcher for the Braves, holding an 8-7 record, 3.92 ERA, and 1.23 WHIP.
The Los Angeles Dodgers have an 80-51 record this season and sit in first place in the NL West. They have a 40-25 road record and are coming off a 4-0 home win against the Pittsburgh Pirates. They will face the Atlanta Braves and the Washington Nationals next.

Freddie Freeman is the Dodgers’ best hitter with a .302 batting average. Shohei Ohtani leads the team in RBI with 80, also adding a team-high 30 home runs.
Tyler Glasnow (RHP) is the projected starting pitcher for the Dodgers, holding a 3-0 record, 2.72 ERA, and 0.83 WHIP.
The Braves are 3-1 in their last 4 meetings against the Dodgers but are 1-3 in their last 4 meetings in Atlanta.
In this Dodgers vs Braves Prediction, the Dodgers are coming as -130 road favorites. I like the Dodgers in this one in an excellent price with Glasnow on the mound. He is back from a long injury but looked amazing before that with a 2.72 ERA, and 0.83 WHIP and was even better on the road with a 1.64 ERA. Bryce Elder has been in good form, but the Braves’ bats have been ice-cold, scoring just 2.3 runs per game in their last 10 and just 1.5 against righties. Take the Dodgers to win this one on the road.
