7:38 p.m. ET: L.A. Dodgers (110-59) at Atlanta Braves (92-74)
Odds: Dodgers -175 / Braves +160
Total: 7.5 -105 / -115
The Braves’ Ian Anderson gets the nod against Scherzer. Anderson has made 5 postseason starts dating back to last year and didn’t allow a run in 4 of them. The Braves are 7-1 in their last 8 home games and 11-2 in their last 13 games overall. This will be the 3rd game Scherzer has pitched since Monday, and this might just be too much for the veteran. The Braves are also familiar with Scherzer given his time in Washington and guys like Freddie Freeman has had a lot of success against Scherzer including 3 homers. The Braves have a combined 9 home runs against Mad Max throughout their career. The Dodgers have been pulling all the bullpen arms as possible to get through the early and late innings in recent games leaving some questions as to what will happen if Scherzer doesn’t go deep today. There is good value on the Braves at this line, at home. Look for the Braves and the Over today.
The Bookie: Braves +160 / Over 7.5 -105
