We are going to side with the better starting pitcher in this matchup. Dodgers starter Lance Lynn has been good since joining the team (4-0 with a 2.03 ERA). However, Lynn was hit hard by the Red Sox in his last start (10 hits allowed including 2 home runs). Lynn also allowed 6 home runs this month, which is a bit concerning when facing an offense like the Braves that hit a lot of home runs. The Braves faced Lynn back in July while he was with the White Sox. Atlanta scored 4 runs in 6 innings against him, including 2 home runs. On the Braves side of this starting pitching matchup is their ace Spencer Strider. In August, Strider is currently 4-1 with a 2.37 ERA. He hasn’t allowed a home run in 5 consecutive starts. Strider has allowed just 7 hits and 1 earned run in his last 21 innings. We see a clear cut pitching advantage for Atlanta. Our wager is on the Braves moneyline.
