Los Angeles Dodgers Analysis

The Los Angeles Dodgers had a great August, despite their loss on Thursday. They are ranked #2 for offense, boasting a .298 average, .363 on base percentage, .520 slugging percentage, 32 extra-base hits, and 23 home runs over the last two weeks. They are facing Atlanta for the second time this season, with Bobby Miller slated for Monday's closer and Gavin Stone up for Saturday's game if he gets the call. Stone earned his first major league win on Sunday with a 7-4 score over Boston, and Atlanta went 1-2 in their 3 matchups against Los Angeles. The Dodgers are ranked #4 in power rankings and have an 83-50 overall record.

Braves' Bryce Elder to Face Tough Test Against Dodgers' Red-Hot Offense

Bryce Elder will be challenged to keep the Dodgers in check. He has allowed four or more runs in three of his last five starts, with the Dodgers posting a 144 wRC+ and .899 OPS over the last 404 plate appearances. The Dodgers’ bullpen has gone 3-0 with four saves and a 2.38 ERA in the last ten days, while the Braves’ relievers have posted three saves and a 3.46 ERA. Despite my misgivings about Gavin Stone, I am prepared to bet on the Dodgers at the moneyline odds.

My Prediction: Braves 0 (-151) to cover
