Atlanta left-hander Max Fried (11-7, 3.54 ERA) was red hot in August, but he is 1-2 with a 4.76 ERA in four starts against the Dodgers. Dodgers' righty Max Scherzer (12-4, 2.51 ERA) has a mediocre 4.04 ERA in 26 career outings (24 starts) against the Braves, but he's been lights out since coming over from the Nats, going 4-0 behind a 1.55 ERA.

The Braves have lost five of their last seven, and I expect the Dodgers to win and cover the RL.

8* play on Los Angeles Dodgers -1.5.
