Hyun-Jin Ryu is 12-2 with a 1.45 ERA this season and he threw a shutout in his first outing against the Braves. Mike Foltynewicz is 4-5 with a 6.24 ERA this season and he gave up five runs in six innings in his first outing against the Dodgers. He has thrown one quality start in his last five starts, and the Dodgers are 8-2 in their last 10. The Braves are just 3-7 as the home dog and 0-4 against the Braves this season.
The Dodgers should be bigger favorites than this. Ace Hyun-Jin Ryu has been lights-out this season and even better in his last six starts (3-0, 0.45 ERA, 1.01 WHIP). And L.A. has dominated the Braves since 2016, going 18-6. My model says the Dodgers win this game more than 70 percent of the time, so you're getting solid value at this price.
Mike Foltynewicz's return to the Braves rotation has featured two wins, including one as a big underdog against the Twins. But Saturday’s game will be his biggest challenge all season. He’ll face the best team in baseball in the Dodgers, who'll have ace Hyun-Jin Ryu on the mound. In his last six starts Ryu has allowed just two runs. But Saturday's price on Ryu is one of the cheapest all season because of Atlanta's potent lineup. Grab the underdog Braves to be the first team post All-Star break to rattle Ryu.
