The Dodgers are getting a chance again to face the Braves. However, these games are definitely one that has really proved very interesting for each of the teams. What else makes these games very interesting is the fact that the Dodgers are a team that has been able to play decent on the road, but have not really faced a team that could be judged as strong as them on the road this year that often.
With the Braves, the team had a chance to retool the bullpen and it looked like it definitely helped the team out. However, one thing that the Braves have to look towards is the fact that this game here could be a potential playoff preview and that will make the game very interesting as the Braves could get a good feel for the way the Dodgers could be playing in October.

Free Betting Pick: Los Angeles Dodgers -150
The Braves are in trouble in this game. Ryu has been very hard to beat on the year and does not give up a lot of hits and forget about getting a walk. Foltynewicz has not been that bad, but he gives up a lot of runs and facing a power packed lineup that the Dodgers can put on the field will really make it hard for the Braves to bring home a win in this game. Final Score, Los Angeles Dodgers win 8-3.
