Seeing a total of less than 8 given this pitching matchup and the way these teams are hitting, it's a solid investment to go Over the total.

Anibal Sanchez has been a pleasant surprise for the Braves - so far. Sanchez, though, is well past his prime and is due for serious regression. That very well could come here against the red-hot Dodgers offense, which is averaging 8.8 runs in their last seven games. The Dodgers have pounded 22 homers during this seven-game stretch.

The Braves have scored three or more runs in 12 of their last 14 games. They've hit lefties better than righties and are facing southpaw Alex Wood, who is having a down season with a 4.48 ERA.
