Dodgers vs Atlanta: Californians to close out series with a win

The Los Angeles Dodgers and the Atlanta Braves will play the third game of the series in Los Angeles. So far, the score is 1-1. Who will be stronger in the battle of the champions of the last two seasons this time? There are several options for betting at once. 

Before the second game of the series with Atlanta, Dave Roberts' team had won 7 straight. Minnesota (7-2, 7-0) and Cincinnati (9-3, 3-1, 5-2, 9-1) failed to beat the Dodgers one by one. In the first game against the Braves with Clayton Kershaw on the pitchers' mound, Los Angeles won 7-4.

Tony Gonsolin will pitch for the Dodgers in the third game against Atlanta. In two starts this season, the 27-year-old pitcher has allowed just 1 run in 7 innings against Colorado (2-3) and Cincinnati (3-1).

Over the long haul, the Braves are certainly inferior to the Dodgers. With their other division rival, the San Diego Padres, as the road series before facing the Dodgers showed, Atlanta are about even - 1-12, 5-2, 5-2, 1-2. However, Brian Snitker's team remains one of the main favorites for the season. If Atlanta make the playoffs, absolutely every team in both the National League and American League could have problems in short games against them.

The experienced Charlie Morton will pitch for the Braves in Game 3 of their series with the Dodgers. In his first two starts this season, the 38-year-old pitcher has seven strikeouts in 10.1 innings against Cincinnati (7-6) and San Diego (1-12).

The Dodgers lost to Atlanta in the last playoffs, so losing to the Braves in the first series of the 2022 regular season is not in the California team's plans. The odds on a Los Angeles win are too good not to take advantage of such a bet.

The prediction is a win for the Dodgers.

• W1 for 1.80;
• Dodgers Handicap (-1.5) for 2.60;
• W1 and Total Under 8.5 for 2.90.
