Los Angeles Dodgers vs Atlanta Braves Prediction: Can Dodgers avoid a defeat this time

In Major League Baseball action on Saturday at Dodger Stadium, the Atlanta Braves and the Los Angeles Dodgers will play each other in game three of their four-game set. Can the Atlanta Braves make it three wins in a row after winning the first two contests between the two teams?

After suffering a defeat on Friday, the Los Angeles Dodgers will seek to bounce back with a strong performance on Saturday. The defeat brought the Los Angeles Dodgers' overall record to 83-51 for the year, giving them a 13.5-game lead over the Arizona Diamondbacks in the National League West. Max Muncy is right there with Mookie Betts with 32 home runs of his own and 90 RBIs. Mookie Betts leads the Los Angeles Dodgers with 38 home runs in addition to 98 RBIs. Freddie Freeman leads the team with 180 hits, has 89 RBIs, a.338 batting average, and a.414 on-base percentage. J.D. Martinez has 25 home runs and 78 RBIs, while Freddie Freeman has 25 home runs, 51 doubles, a.338 batting average, and a.414 on-base percentage.

The Atlanta Braves needed a good showing in this series in order to keep their grasp on the best record in baseball, and so far, they have done just that following a 6-3 triumph for their second win of the series. They have maintained their hold on the best record in baseball. After the victory, the Atlanta Braves improved their overall record to 89-45 for the season and moved into first place in the National League East. The Atlanta Braves are led by Ronald Acuna Jr., who has 183 hits, a batting average of.338 and 63 stolen bases, making him the leader in Major League Baseball for that category. Matt Olson leads the Braves with 43 home runs and 112 RBIs this season, while Acuna Jr. is second on the team with 31 home runs and 84 RBIs. Eddie Rosario, Ozzie Albies, Sean Murphy, and Marcell Ozuna are the other four Braves batters who have contributed 20 or more home runs for the Braves thus far this season. Austin Riley has contributed 32 home runs. Bryce Elder, who has a record of 11-4 with a 3.50 earned run average and 107 strikeouts so far this season, will get the start for Atlanta here.

I like the Los Angeles Dodgers for the bounce back, as I think they scratch a few off of Bryce Elder here, but I also think the Atlanta Braves are hitting too well at the plate right now to really ignore, and I think we just have a high-scoring matchup on our hands in this one between two of the best teams in baseball and for sure the two best teams in the National League. The Los Angeles Dodgers should pick up their first win in this set, and I also think the over will be a huge pick here.
