Dodgers vs Braves Prediction
You probably shouldn’t be eager to step in front of the Dodgers in their current form. You also probably shouldn’t be running to the window to back the Braves. With all of that said, we’re getting big plus money with Sale on the mound. It’s also only a matter of time before the Braves get their act together. Dustin May also hasn’t pitched in an MLB game since 2023 after having major surgery. Who knows how May performs or how long he’s even going to pitch? I’m sure the Dodgers will be careful with May in his return. You can do worse than the Braves and the more favorable price.
