Sunday’s FREE WINNER: Los Angeles Dodgers.

Game 906.

1:10 PM PST/4:10 PM EST.

Once again, this season the Dodgers are one of the best teams not just in the National League, but in all of baseball. And let's face it, they have a talented, deep, roster. Whether it be on the mound or at the plate, Los Angeles possesses some of the best numbers in the League. They top the Majors in scoring, team batting average, and OPS, and ranking second overall in home runs. Let's face it, their offense is explosive. They are accounting for over 5.49 runs per game. That would be enough to raise an eyebrow here. However, their pitching staff has been extremely consistent, ranking eight, with a Team ERA of 3.42.  Playing in Dodger Stadium and being underdog can’t sit well with the squad. I mean let's face it, they have taken both Games 1 and 2 of this series. Going back a bit further, they have taken three in a row over Atlanta, and six of the last 10 meetings. Speaking of the Braves, they have slipped into second place in the NL East at 20-11. Don't get me wrong guys, this is a very good team. However, they are struggling a bit right now. They've lost two in a row and split out their last 10 overall outings. They certainly seem to be a little better at home than they are on the road. Don't get me wrong, there are teams that would kill to be 9-7 as a guest at this point. Today, they send Max Fried to the hill. The left-hander is 2-0 with a 4.02 ERA overall on the campaign, which does include a very respectable, 1-0 road record, with an ERA of 3.50. Los Angeles will send James Paxton to the bump. The left-hander also boasts some very good numbers, going 3-0 with a 3.51 ERA overall, including a 1-0 mark at home, and a 2.70 ERA. As I mentioned earlier, right now, the Braves seem to be struggling a bit, while the Dodgers are surging. I believe baseball to be one of the streakiest of all the major sports. And riding a streak, good or bad, more often, pays off. One more item, Los Angeles knows there is a good chance, they may be meeting the Atlanta in the postseason. So, getting a big series win over them right now will go a long way. Take the Dodgers. Thank you.
