I think runs will come at a premium for both teams when the LA Dodgers host the Atlanta Braves for the opener of their National League Divisional Series Thursday night.

Hyun-Jin Ryu (7-3, 1.97 ERA) will take the ball for the Dodgers. The South Korean southpaw missed 3 1/2 months of the season with a groin strain and should be relatively fresh for the postseason. This will be his first start against Atlanta in 2018.

The Braves hand the ball to right-hander Mike Foltynewicz (13-10, 2.85 ERA). He was even more effective on the road than at home during the regular season, posting a 2.48 ERA in 15 starts away from home. I think he'll be able to handle the Dodgers' bats and it's also worth mentioning that rested bullpens naturally will favor a low-scoring game.

Under is 17-5-1 in Dodgers last 23 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Under is 11-5-1 in Dodgers last 17 games following an off day.

8* play on UNDER.
