Braves vs. Dodgers

BEST BET: Braves at the run line with BetMGM (-132)

The Dodgers head into the first of three games at home as near unbackable moneyline favorites with Walker Buehler set to take the mound against the best the Braves have to offer in Charlie Morton. The Atlanta ace has been immense so far this postseason. We can expect a lot of innings from both pitchers but ultimately this is looking like another tight one, following a similar script to the first two games. The added security of the 1.5 run head start presents the best value for bettors.

BEST PROP: Mookie Betts to record 2+ hits with BetMGM (+180)

While we're bullish about Atlanta's chances in this game, we've also identified some value in Mookie Betts to cause problems in Game 3. Betts has had a reasonable history against Morton in the past, striking out only once from 29 plate appearances against the Braves pitcher over the course of his career. With such a low strikeout rate, all Betts needs to do is avoid the outfield and set his team up to score.
