Atlanta blew 2-0 and 3-1 leads in last year's playoffs, so the Braves don't plan to let up in this series as they go for their sixth win in a row overall. Dave Roberts has been making the wrong moves late in games with his pitching staff, and now they face Charlie Morton, who has allowed three earned runs in 11 innings versus Los Angeles this season, and he beat the Dodgers in Game 7 of the 2017 World Series. Walker Buehler goes for the Dodgers, and he hasn't pitched since last Tuesday when he went 4 1/3 innings against San Francisco. Atlanta is 20-6 its past 26 games versus right-handed starters and 9-3 following a day off. Also, the Braves have won 12 of 13 against teams with winning records. Morton was 8-3 with a 3.06 ERA on the road this season. Take the Braves.
