The Los Angeles Dodgers are at it again. At the same time, the Atlanta Braves are letting it happen again. The Dodgers were down 3-1 to the Braves for the second year in a row and are now one game away from forcing a Game 7 in the NLCS. 

They routed the Braves, 11-2, in Game 5 and are on the verge of making another historic comeback. 

WynnBET expects the Dodgers to force a Game 7, as they are -150 on the moneyline. It would truly be an impressive feat if the Dodgers can pull off the comeback. 

As crazy as that would be, strange things happen in each individual game. 

Here are three bold predictions for tonight’s Game 6, with the odds provided by WynnBET.

Bold Predictions for Dodgers-Braves NLCS Game 6

  • The Dodgers will be up by at least 3 runs after 5 innings
  • Mookie Betts Will Hit A Home Run
  • Walker Beuhler Will Have Over 5 Strikeouts

The Dodgers will be up by at least 3 runs after 5 innings

Los Angeles is built for moments like these. They’ve won seven straight elimination games. The Dodgers refuse to go home and tonight will follow suit. WynnBET has the 5-inning run line set at 2.5 (+240). Based on how Game 5 went, it wouldn’t shock me if the Dodgers had another dominant performance and had a big lead heading into the home stretch. 

Mookie Betts Will Hit A Home Run

Just like the Dodgers as a whole, Betts lives for these moments. He always seems to come up biggest when his team needs him and there is no better way to show up than to knock one out of the park. Betts hit a home run in Game 4 of the NLDS against the Giants, and I expect him to hit one tonight. 

He is +395 to hit a home run today, which is decent value. Whether Los Angeles is up big or in a close game, Betts will come through. 

Walker Beuhler Will Have Over 5 Strikeouts

Beuhler hasn’t been as dominant this postseason as he usually is, and that’s because of the strength of Atlanta’s bats. However, tonight will be different. Beuhler was one of the best pitchers all year long. He will figure out the Braves in his second start in this series. 

If you can’t tell, I’m all in on the Dodgers tonight, and that starts with Beuhler’s pitching.
