The over is 4-1 in Dodgers last 5 overall. The over is 5-2 in Braves last 7 overall. The Dodgers are 2-6 in the last 8 meetings in Atlanta.
Randy’s Pick
Bobby Miller is considered a top-20 prospect and expected to become a top of a rotation starter, so he's not your typical pitcher making his big league debut. However, I do have a thing where I don't like to bet pitchers making their first career start. Also, this isn't the easiest debut on the road against a stacked Braves lineup. Spencer Strider has been fabulous through 51.2 innings. I have to lean Braves because I know what I'm getting, and of course I lay the RL to shave the juice.
