The Dodgers are 4-1 on a seven-game road trip to Florida (2-1) and Atlanta (2-0). L.A. is 33-31 on the road this season, but has won 20 of their last 29 road games. Braves are 31-33 at home.
L.A. is as streaky as they come, and this is the perfect time for their bats to come alive. Since July 19 (34 games), the trio of Paul Lo Duca, Shawn Green and Gary Sheffield has combined to hit .358 (136-for-380) with 34 home runs, 87 RBI and scored 83 runs. The Braves bats, on the other hand, are still dormant. They seem to rely on their pitching more than ever, and if the pitching falters even a little, well, the result is usually an L.
All things considered, I'll take the Dodgers at the nice +160 price.
GoodLuck all
