Braves vs. Dodgers MLB BETTING PREDICTION
I’m laying the 1.5 runs with the Dodgers at Bovada.lv. The Braves had a rough opening series in San Diego, to say the least. They were swept in those four games and combined for just seven runs in the process. The Dodgers, meanwhile, are a perfect 5-0 to start the season and failed to win on the runline only once (a 5-4 victory over the Tigers on Opening Day).
Braves vs. Dodgers MLB Playoffs Prediction: LOS ANGELES DODGERS -1.5 (+104)
