Los Angeles at Atlanta

The Dodger bats came alive in a big way on Wednesday as the Braves were bombarded by an 11-run first inning that included three home runs and a grand slam by Max Muncy. Now all eyes are on Clayton Kershaw, who finally gets to pitch after suffering back spasms, and is trying to atone for some bad performances in past postseasons. So far so good for the left-hander, as he has allowed only three runs in 14 innings against Milwaukee and San Diego. Dating back to the regular season, Los Angeles has won each of his last four starts. Bryse Wilson started only twice for Atlanta this season and he gave up seven runs on 18 hits in 15 and 2/3 innings. The Dodgers are 63-23 their last 86 games versus right-handed pitchers, and 42-16 overall following a win. Take the Dodgers as a Max Play to even the series.
