It took the Atlanta Braves extra innings yesterday to dispose of the Miami Marlins and then they had to board a flight for Los Angeles to open a 3-game set with the Dodgers which is always difficult to do. Atlanta will send Kevin Gausman to the rubber. Gausman is 1-2 with a 4.83 ERA and will be working on just two days’ rest after being ejected in Friday’s game with Miami after 1-2/3 innings of work. Los Angeles will have Walker Buehler on the hill. Buehler is 3-0, with an ERA that could be better at 5.22, but the Dodgers are still 6-2 in his last 8 starts. Head to head, Los Angeles has had their way with Atlanta, winning 28 of the last 39 meetings and 21 of the last 29 at Chavez Ravine.
TONIGHT’S PICK: LOS ANGELES DODGERS
