Here are the latest Dodgers vs. Braves odds and betting lines from our best live betting sites.

📊 Who will win today's Sunday Night Baseball matchup?

As of Sunday morning, the Dodgers are favored against the Braves in today's MLB matchup at 7 p.m. ET from Truist Park in Atlanta. I'm predicting the Dodgers (-150) will beat the Braves.

🎯 Dodgers vs. Braves score prediction: Dodgers 6, Braves 3

The Dodgers enter this matchup with the longest active winning streak in the majors (seven games), outscoring their opponents by 38 runs. Los Angeles is the only team that could play to a .697 winning percentage in a division with four teams over .500 despite all its injuries.

The Dodgers should enjoy plenty of success against Braves righty Bryce Elder, whom they've slashed .270/.370/.623 in 63 at-bats.

Elder ranks in the seventh percentile in whiff rate and is at the bottom quarter of all starting pitchers in xBA. It is especially concerning that Elder’s strikeout rate is down 33% from last season, allowing an xSLG of .400 or worse on all four of his primary pitches.

I predict Los Angeles will beat Atlanta 6-3.

Best bet: Dodgers -1.5 (+105 via DraftKings)

1️⃣ Sunday Night Baseball first-inning prediction: YRFI/NRFI

Dustin May has allowed five earned runs in the first inning of his five starts, and his road ERA is 6.55 compared to 2.20 at home. While the NRFI has cashed in five of the Dodgers’ last six road games, there is value in backing a run being scored in the first inning tonight.

Mike started in the sports writing industry in July 2019, and gained a lot of followers in his first year after finishing with the No. 2 overall record in an annual NFL betting competition, which made picks against the spread, and from an Over/Under and moneyline perspective. Mike is an avid fan of the NFL, MLB, tennis, and all college sports. In his opinion, March Madness is the best sporting event there is, and he's especially euphoric starting with conference tournament time in college basketball. Mike's a big advocate of "fading the public" and making plays that are contrarian, constantly citing that "there are reasons why they have those big shiny buildings in Las Vegas." When making wagers, Mike always scours the best odds at all of the major sports betting sites, where he mostly sifts through DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, and bet365. He's tried several others and is of the firm belief that bettors should not just stick to one sportsbook, as there is always likely better value to be had with the same wager. In addition, while Mike received his undergraduate degree from Villanova University, he has no issue betting against the Wildcats when it comes to college basketball wagering, and suggests other bettors should always put their “head” before their “hearts.”
