MLB FREE PICK: Take Los Angeles. According to latest MLB trends, the Braves are 1-4 in their last five playoff games as an underdog and 1-5 in their last six games as an underdog. They’re also 1-5 in their last six Divisional Playoff home games, 1-6 in their last seven Divisional Playoff games overall, and 0-4 in their last four playoff games overall. On the other side, the Dodgers are 9-1 in Greinke’s last 10 road starts, 15-3 in his last 18 starts as a favorite and 4-1 in his last five starts versus a team with a winning record. A couple of years ago when he was pitching for Milwaukee, you wouldn’t bet on Greinke to win on the road. A lot has changed as Greinke has dominated away from L.A. all season long. Look for the Dodgers to steal another game on the road tonight.
