Our Atlanta Braves vs Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction
The Dodgers are a small favorite in this game; however, the Braves look to be the best betting option. This mainly goes to how inconsistent Sasaki has been on the road this season. Across 11 away starts, Sasaki has allowed 32 runs (30 earned) over 59.2 innings. Smith-Shawver, on the other hand, has only made two starts this season, both of which were on the road. He struggled in those two starts, allowing six earned runs over 8.2 innings.
Despite his struggles, Smith-Shawver has a career 2.35 ERA when pitching at home in Atlanta; therefore, our Atlanta Braves vs Los Angeles Dodgers prediction is: Atlanta Braves ML.
