Braves vs. Dodgers Prediction and Odds for NLCS Game 3

The Atlanta Braves are peaking at the right time. On the heels of back-to-back walk off wins at home against the Los Angeles Dodgers, Atlanta is in prime position to make their first World Series since 1999.

Now, the team will send out veteran right hander Charlie Morton to put a near-insurmountable three-game lead on the Dodgers. Can Morton get the job done against the Dodgers feared lineup?

Braves vs. Dodgers Prediction and Pick

The Dodgers are up against it. Two games slipped through their grasp in Atlanta, but they are not out of this series just yet. The team heads home with arguably their best starter, Walker Buehler, taking the mound on Monday night.

Buehler has great postseason success against Atlanta. He threw six shut out innings in last season's NLCS against the Braves en route to a Dodgers series win. The Cy Young candidate is going to need to give a solid outing as the Los Angeles bullpen has been logging some heavy usage after a five game series against the San Francisco Giants in the NLDS and two bullpen-centric games in Atlanta.

As for the other side, the Braves will turn to Morton to give them a critical third win in this best of seven series.

He has been fantastic against Dodgers hitters in the past, allowing a .216 batting average in 153 at bats in his career. In this postseason, he has allowed four runs in just over nine innings in two starts against the Milwaukee Brewers. As for his career, he has a 3.44 ERA in 15 playoff starts.

I expect both pitchers to show up in this pivotal game and we see a low scoring affair. I'll grab this under at anything above seven.

Pick: Under 7.5
