John Smoltz (R) vs Brad Penny (R)
The Dodgers hope they get more respect from the Braves Tuesday than they do from Vegas oddsmakers, who peg them as 125 underdogs.
The Braves start John Smoltz, 0-0, 0 ERA. His last trip was a win, a 7-1 team win against the Astros, when he threw 7 innings, allowing 1 run on 7 hits. The righty last threw against the Dodgers on August 16, 2005 coming away with a no decision. He allowed 7 hits in 7 innings, giving up 3 in that one.
Sporting a 0-1 overall record and a 0-0 mark within the division, the Dodgers aim to knock the Braves (0-0 in the division) for a loss.
While the Braves opened as 125 chalk, defence is likely to play a big role in this contest. The total opened at a low 7, an indication that the experts don't see a lot of scoring Tuesday. Los Angeles is 0-1 on the year, while Atlanta is 1-0.
The Dodgers lost to the Braves 11-10 as 115 underdogs. That contest went over the closing total.
You can usually count on Los Angeles to get men on base as they rank in top three in the league with 17 per game on the season. Atlanta's pitchers need to keep this group in check.
Some trends to consider:
Atlanta is 1-5-0 SU in its last 6 games after scoring more than 9 runs
Atlanta is 4-2-0 OU in its last 6 games away against Los Angeles
Atlanta is 4-1-0 OU in its last 5 games against Los Angeles
Atlanta is 5-0-0 OU in its last 5 away
Los Angeles is 4-1-0 OU in its last 5 games against Atlanta
Los Angeles is 4-2-0 OU in its last 6 games at home against Atlanta
Los Angeles is 2-5-0 SU in its last 7 games after scoring more than 9 runs
