A suspect pitching matchup on Sunday Night Baseball has me bullish for offence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pregame narrative:<\/strong> Charlie Morton and the Atlanta Braves host Walker Buehler and the Los Angeles Dodgers tonight. I’m taking the over on the first-five-inning total while playing prop bets for Matt Olson and Mookie Betts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out my Dodgers vs. Braves picks for Sunday Night Baseball on Sept. 15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dodgers vs. Braves picks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Best Bet<\/a>: Betts over 0.5 runs<\/strong> (-114)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embed: #94660<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Psychologically, it’s never fun to see a run prop with minus odds. But I can absolutely get behind this one today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Betts bats in the No. 2 spot of an exceptionally potent Dodgers lineup, which means he’s always in a great position to score. L.A. has the second-best team OPS in the majors (.767), and the lineup has been even better over the past month (.783 OPS).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So as long as Betts finds a way on base, his chances of getting around the diamond to score are going to be pretty good. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Betts has seen Morton a team-high 51 times, and the results have definitely been in the outfielder’s favour. He is 13-for-42 with a home run, two doubles and seven walks. That equates to a .431 on-base percentage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What makes this even more enticing is the guy batting right after Betts: Freddie Freeman. In his past experiences against Morton, Freeman is 11-for-23 (.478) with four doubles and three home runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dodgers have scored 14 runs on 24 hits over their past 20.1 innings against Morton (dating back to 2022). I think they can get to Morton again tonight, and Betts should be a piece of that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key stat:<\/strong> Betts has scored a run in 11 of his past 19 games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quick picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Olson over 0.5 RBI (+165)<\/a>:<\/strong> Olson is just 1-for-4 with a walk against Buehler, so this pick isn’t about their history. Instead, it’s a bet on Olson’s resurgence overall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embed: #94663<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his past 20 games, the reigning HR champ has a .321\/.372\/.615 slash line and 22 RBI. He’s cashed this bet 12 times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year, Olson paced the NL with a .604 SLG … but that’s down to .442 this year. So it’s nice to see him powering up again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buehler doesn’t strike me as someone who’s going to cool Olson down. L.A.’s starter has allowed a .308\/.369\/.555 slash line to all<\/em> opposing hitters this year over 13 outings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That means Atlanta should be able to get runners on base, and its cleanup hitter should be able to bring them home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 4.5 runs – first five innings (+104)<\/a>:<\/strong> At plus money, I’m really liking this over in a game with two questionable pitchers on the mound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embed: #94665<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dodgers have extensive experience against Morton (226 plate appearances, .254 BA), so there should be no surprises on their end. L.A. is the third-highest scoring team in baseball (4.95 runs\/game) and consistently scores in the early innings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The F5 over is 82-66 in Dodgers games this year, according to ATS.io, which is the third-highest rate in MLB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Atlanta’s offence hasn’t been nearly as explosive this year, but I think the Braves can contribute to this total thanks to the presence of Buehler on the mound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buehler has a 7.62 ERA over his past six starts, and the F5 over has cashed in five of those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Braves’ current lineup is 16-for-65 (.246) against Buehler with five extra-base hits and four walks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
