LTSF reports that early wagers have the public taking the traveling Braves with a comeback of +132.

 

Davies was excellent last time out but still took the loss.  He allowed two runs and three hits before leaving in the 7th inning.  The six strikeouts by Davies were the most since his first start of the season. 

 

Randy Wolf was able pick up his 9th win of the season in his last start due to great run support.  He walked six in six-plus innings but the Dodgers scored 9 runs in the victory.  Wolf seems to get a lot of run support on a regular basis and he may need it on Tuesday.  He is 4-9 lifetime against the Braves.

 

The Dodgers are -142 favorites with a total of 8.5 Over (-120) .
