Leg 1: Atlanta Braves vs Baltimore Orioles
Pick: Atlanta Braves Moneyline
Atlanta enters this matchup as the stronger overall team and has the more dependable pitching situation. Grant Holmes gives the Braves a capable starter who can limit damage, generate strikeouts and keep Baltimore from building an early lead.
The Orioles remain dangerous at home, but Atlanta possesses the deeper lineup and should create more consistent scoring opportunities throughout the game. Baltimore’s uncertain pitching plans could also force the Orioles to rely heavily on their bullpen against one of the National League’s better offences.
Why We Like It: Atlanta has the stronger roster, the more reliable starting pitcher and the better chance of producing runs over nine innings.
Leg 2: Los Angeles Dodgers vs New York Mets
Pick: Los Angeles Dodgers Moneyline
The Dodgers have one of baseball’s deepest and most dangerous lineups. Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman, Max Muncy and the rest of the Los Angeles order give the Dodgers several ways to score against Sean Manaea and the Mets bullpen.
Roki Sasaki has been inconsistent, but his strikeout ability should help him limit New York’s biggest innings. The Mets can create offence through Juan Soto and the middle of their lineup, but Los Angeles has more dependable production from top to bottom.
Why We Like It: The Dodgers have the deeper lineup, more offensive power and a stronger overall roster than New York.
