This is a 10* TOP TOTAL on the UNDER Dodgers/Braves.

Both teams have been playing to some higher-scoring games of late, but we expect those trends to end this evening in the opener of this three-game series.

The Dodgers have seen the total go OVER in four straight. That includes in a three-game series sweep at Cincinnati most recently, winning 8-2, 8-4 and 10-5.

The Braves saw two of three go OVER the number in their latest series here vs. the Giants, including in yesterday's 7-6 victory.

Julio Urias (4-6, 2.56 ERA) gets the call for the Dodgers, while Ian Anderson (6-3, 4.35) counters for the home side.

Freddie Freeman is back to face his former team, but we can expect these veteran hurlers to garner most of the headlines in tomorrow's summaries of this contest.

Urias has given up one earned run or less in eight out of his 12 starts this season. Anderson is coming off a gem and he has the support of a bullpen that ranks in the Top 5 in almost every category there is.

For all the reasons listed above, the play is the UNDER.

Good luck, NP
