The Los Angeles Dodgers and Atlanta Braves wrap up their weekend series under the lights of Sunday Night Baseball.
The pregame narrative: The Braves have had a disappointing campaign and are coming off a lopsided 10-3 loss on Saturday. I’m not expecting things to get much better, and like a prop that works against Atlanta’s chances at bouncing back.
Freddie Freeman is featured in my Dodgers vs. Braves prop bets for Sunday Night Baseball on May 4.
Dodgers vs. Braves prop bets
Best Bet: Freeman over 1.5 total bases (-118)
Like usual, there’s a strong case to make when it comes to backing Freeman on this market.
The ex-Braves first baseman continues to torment his old team. He delivered three hits, including a home run, in Saturday’s dominant win.
Big performances have been the norm for Freeman as he has cashed this prop in 11 of 22 games this season, making this a very fair line for him.
The benefit of backing a hitter like Freeman on this prop is that he can get it done with both contact and power. He’s batting an impressive .338 this season with a .662 SLG.
The matchup also works in Freeman’s favour. The superstar has done well in seven at-bats against Elder, delivering three hits.
Elder has been giving up a lot of hard contact this season, too. The Atlanta righty has surrendered a .267 batting average and .514 SLG to opposing hitters this season.
Freeman should be able to find success in this matchup and deliver on this prop.
Key Stat: Freeman has a 99th-percentile expected batting average (.330) and expected SLG (.682), according to Baseball Savant.
