While the Dodgers have devoured (mostly) outmanned opposition at home, on the road it hasn't been so easy. In eleven games as a visitor (not counting the March pair of neutral games in Japan vs. the Cubs), LA has won only...four (no lie!), and dynamics look different for this series vs. the Braves after Atlanta was in a deep funk the first week of the season when swept at the Ravine. The Braves hit Truist Field tonight having won nine of twelve, and won the last three starts made by Grant Holmes. Meanwhile, Yoshinobu Yamamoto looked very mortal in his last Dodgers start, allowing three runs in 5 IP while picking up a loss April 25 vs. the Pirates. Play Braves on Run Line

The Dodgers have won the last five meetings with the Braves, including a sweep at the beginning of April. The Dodgers are picking up right where they left off last year with a 21-10 record, but they're only 6-7 on the road. The Braves have won nine of their last 12, but their loss to the Rockies yesterday dropped them to two games under .500, which isn't bad considering they started 0-7. The play today is the over because the Dodgers are going to hit Grant Holmes, who allowed six runs in his last start, and the Dodgers score 9.6 runs a game. Just the over.

We are going to be backing Yoshi Yamamoto and his 1.06 ERA pretty much all the time. The Bravos lineup is still dealing with plenty of variance, especially against quality pitching. Ohtani is getting locked in and I have a hard time seeing Grant Holmes navigating this lineup sufficiently. The Dodgers need to start taking their home form on the road and facing a playoff team should bring out the best in them,
