Ageless Charlie Morton looked good in the spring and in his first start, but blew a tire in the second. An off game? Probably, but worth noting. The 5-7 Braves’ start has been just OK to date, and as one would expect, that goes for their hitting, and bull pen. They are on the road and up against the 8-2 Dodgers, a hot team with a definite chip on their collective shoulder. Gonsolin starts for LA, also up to start #3; He was good in his first start, and even better in his second. He hasn’t pitched many innings to date, but he does have that fine Dodgers’ bullpen to back him up.

The Dodgers are at home, outhitting the Braves, have better relievers and will be super-motivated . They ran into a tough pitcher in Max Fried on Tuesday, and will be wanting payback. Take Gonsolin and the Dodgers in this one.
