Atlanta Braves vs Los Angeles Dodgers Best Bet: Under 7.5 Runs (-105)

The best bet in Tuesday’s matchup between the Atlanta Braves and Los Angeles Dodgers is the 7.5-run total to go under.
Atlanta’s offense has been abysmal to start the season and reigning Cy Young winner Chris Sale should limit the Dodgers lineup enough to cash the under at -105 odds.
Bovada Sportsbook legally offers these odds in Georgia, California, and more states.

LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles Dodgers have -138 odds to continue their unbeaten streak and defeat the winless Atlanta Braves on Tuesday night. These odds are tempting, but the best legal sports betting wager is on the under at 7.5 runs.

Atlanta Braves Vs Los Angeles Dodgers Betting Lines

Team	Spread	Moneyline	Total
Atlanta Braves	+1.5 (-160)	+115	O7.5 (-115)
Los Angeles Dodgers	-1.5 (+135)	-138	U7.5 (-105)

Bovada Sportsbook favors the total to go over at -115 odds, but there are two key reasons why the under is the best bet.

No. 1: Braves Offense Has Been Nonexistent Through 5 Games

Atlanta mustered just one run across their last three games and recently lost Jurickson Profar with an 80-game PED suspension. Profar was the only Braves hitter with a batting average above .176, so the Braves will likely go under their 3.5-run MLB betting projection once again.

No. 2: Betting Odds Say Chris Sale Will Limit Dodgers Lineup

There are -165 odds at Bovada for Braves starter Chris Sale to allow under 2.5 total earned runs against the Dodgers. GA sportsbook apps also favor his total pitcher outs line of 17.5 to go over at -175 odds, expecting the reigning NL Cy Young winner to pitch six strong innings for the Braves.

The under then rests on Atlanta’s bullpen, who have actually been solid outside of recently DFA’d Hector Neris. The other Braves relievers have allowed just six earned runs in 12.1 innings of work.

Meanwhile, Dustin May makes his first MLB start for the Dodgers since 2023. There are -185 legal California sports betting for May to go over 3.5 strikeouts and -125 odds for under 1.5 earned runs on Tuesday night.
