Point Spread: 1.50 | -108.00 Braves (ATL) (Away)
Result: Loss
The Braves are coming into this game with a 0-4 start to the season after getting swept by the Padres in their 1st series, but they are going to be hungry to bounce back here and get their 1st win of the year, especially after going scoreless in their last 2 games. They are going up against a Dodgers team that is 5-0 to start the season and have already swept both the Cubs and the Tigers this year. Their offense has been great in these games, but they did average 4 runs allowed per game in their series against the Tigers and this is going to be a very desperate Braves team to get their 1st win. Grant Holmes is starting for the Braves in this game and he has been good in Spring Training this season. He went 0-1 in his 2 starts but allowed 3 earned runs in 15.1 innings pitched. He also has an appearance out of the bullpen this season in their 7-4 loss to the Padres, allowing no runs in his 1 inning pitched. This is only his 2nd season in the MLB, but he had a good rookie year with some starts under his belt as well as some appearances out of the bullpen. He did see the Dodgers as well and gave up no runs in his 1 inning pitched against them. Tyler Glasnow is starting for the Dodgers here and he was also good in Spring Training this year. He went 0-1 in his 4 starts and allowed 4 earned runs in 11 innings. He only allowed 2 earned runs in 7 innings against the Braves last season, but the Braves are not a team he has faced a lot throughout his career and he is going to face a Braves team that will be looking to get after him after a 0-4 start to the season. The Braves are going to get up for the Dodgers in this series and they are going to be desperate for a win here. The Braves will win this game or keep it within 1, take the Braves +1.5 here.
