Prediction published on 5/3/25, 3:42 PM  by Travis Pulver | Modified on 1/13/26 at 9:47 AM in MLB Picks

The Los Angeles Dodgers will try to keep the good times rolling today when they face the Braves in Atlanta at Truist Park in Game Two of a three-game series. Fans can follow the action on Fox once the game gets underway at 7:15 p.m. EST.

The Dodgers have bounced back from a three-game losing streak last week with victories in their last six games, including a 2-1 win over the Braves last night. Yoshinobu Yamamoto turned in another solid outing for LA, pitching six innings of one-hit, shutout ball while walking two and striking out six. A Mookie Betts home run in the top of the sixth inning gave the Dodgers a 2-0 lead. The Angels eventually got on the board at the bottom of the seventh courtesy of a solo shot by Matt Olson. LA is scheduled to give Roki Sasaki the ball to start the day.  Sasaki is still looking for his first win of the season and is 0-1 across six starts. After giving up three runs in his last start to Pittsburgh (5 2/3 innings), his ERA rose to 3.55. Atlanta will turn to Spencer Schwellenbach. Overall, he is having a good season with a 1-2 record over six starts with a 2.87 ERA and .98 WHIP. He allowed three runs or fewer in five of his six starts without shutouts in his first two.
