My Prediction
Los Angeles Dodgers by 3All right, sports fans, let's dive into this upcoming clash between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Atlanta Braves, happening on the Braves' home turf, Truist Park, a cozy little place that plays pretty fair for both pitchers and batters.
The Dodgers are sending out their boy Dustin May to the mound, who's been boasting a 3.99 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, and 7.3 strikeouts per nine innings this season. The Braves, on the other hand, are countering with Bryce Elder, who's seen better days with his season stats of a 5.33 ERA, 1.41 WHIP, and 5.3 K/9. Now, I'm no expert, but well, actually scratch that; I am an expert, and things don't look too promising for poor Elder in this matchup.
Now, let's talk batting. The Dodgers are bringing some heavy hitters with them this year, probably got a sale on at the hitting department, I reckon. Players like Rojas, Freeman, Hernandez, and Pages have all been hitting impressively, taking turns knocking balls out of the park. Let's not forget Edman though, who might not be as shiny as the rest, but still, gets the job done. On the Braves' side, we got players like Baldwin, Riley, Murphy, and Harris II, who know their way around a bat, but as the saying goes, "Good, but not good enough."
When we look at the past encounters between these teams, it gets a bit ugly for the Braves. The Dodgers have got them beat every single time. Poor guys didn't even stand a chance, apparently. The regular season records are also nodding pretty vigorously towards the Dodgers with 22 wins and just 10 losses compared to the Braves' not-so-impressive 14-17 record.
And as if the Braves' recent results page was trying to mimic a red stoplight, it's full of losses with the Dodgers already waving at them twice from the victory lane. Meanwhile, over at Dodgertown, there's nothing but victory music playing with them winning every single one of their recent games.
Well, looking at all this information, it becomes pretty clear who's coming out with a W here. Now if you don't mind, I'd like to make this official:

Ack! I don’t have the full matchup data you need to make a weighted prediction. Baseball is a fickle sport. Final data comes in the morning of the game.
