ACTION on pitchers. #905 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Los Angeles Dodgers -125 over Atlanta Braves, Saturday at 8:08 PM ET – The Dodgers have not announced a starting pitcher yet but consider that this team, no matter who has been on the mound, has won 11 of 13 games and has allowed 3 or less runs in 10 of 13 games. Los Angeles could start Max Scherzer here as, even though he came in to pitch the 9th inning in the Game 5 victory over the Giants, he threw only 13 pitches. The point about the Dodgers pitching is that even if they go with a bullpen game here this team continues to dominate with pitching no matter who is on the mound. LA has won those 11 of 13 games also, thanks in part, to a red hot lineup. The Dodgers have scored an average of 7.3 runs in their last 9 victories! The Braves have scored an average of 3.7 runs per game last 7 games and we are going to take the better lineup and the better bullpen and the more experienced post-season team to get the win here in Game 1. Whether or not the Dodgers start Scherzer and whether or not the Braves start Max Fried, we are siding with Los Angeles in this one for the reasons outlined above. We will grab the road team at a very fair price on the money line in this one and bet Los Angeles Dodgers -125
