In this Braves vs Dodgers Prediction, the Dodgers are coming as -135 home favorites. Both pitchers have been excellent this season with a combined 3.27 ERA and both bullpens have been top-5 in ERA this season, but the total is set at 9. I will gladly go under that number, as both teams combined for 9 and 4 total runs in the first two games of this series and both teams have scored three runs or less in six of their last eight games combined. Take the under 9 in this one.
