Dodgers to win (-155)
Los Angeles has dominated the series over the past couple of years, winning 11 of the past 13 meetings. They are 8-4 at Truist Park since 2022, outscoring the Braves 64-42 during that stretch. Helping lead the Dodgers’ offense is first baseman Freddie Freeman, a former Atlanta Brave.

Under 9 total runs (+105)
The model projects a 47.2% chance that the teams will combine for fewer runs than nine. In five of the last nine matchups, the under has prevailed, including in Friday’s matchup. Right-hander Dustin May (1-1, 3.95 ERA) will take the hill for Los Angeles. He has allowed three earned runs or fewer in four of his five starts this season. Atlanta will counter with right-handed pitcher Bryce Elder (1-1, 5.33 ERA). He is coming off a 6-3 win at Colorado on Monday, pitching six innings and allowing five hits, three earned runs and two walks with four strikeouts. He got a no-decision in a 4-1 win over St. Louis on April 23, pitching six innings and allowing five hits, one earned run and three walks, while striking out two.
The model projects May will allow 2.1 earned runs, while Los Angeles relievers will combine to give up just 1.6 earned runs. Elder, meanwhile, will allow 2.7 runs, with Atlanta relievers relinquishing just 1.2 earned runs. The model is projecting 9.1 combined runs.

Braves pitcher Bryce Elder over 3.5 strikeouts (-155)
Atlanta pitcher Bryce Elder has recorded at least four strikeouts in two starts this season, including in his last outing against the Colorado Rockies. Couple that with the fact that the Dodgers average 8.2 strikeouts per game, and the model is projecting Elder to register 4.2 strikeouts on Sunday. DraftKings Sportsbook has this prop at -155.
