Elder, a right-hander got knocked around last season, posting a 6.52 ERA over 49.2 innings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the Dodgers lineup has got on him in the past. Freddie Freeman, Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts and Teoscar Hernandez are a combined 8-for-20 (.400) off of Elder in their careers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Braves have scored the second-fewest runs per game (1.6) with the second-worst team batting average (.144). I doubt they turn things around tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">MLB SGP legs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Snell over 6.5 Ks (-134):<\/strong> Snell underwhelmed in his season debut with the Dodgers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He was solid, allowing two runs over five innings while striking out two. But the lefty had otherworldly standards heading into the season off the back of a tremendous 2024:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>3.19 ERA<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>12.5 K\/9<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>7+ Ks in nine of his final 11 starts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Baseball Savant, Snell ranked in the 98th percentile for both whiff rate (37.7%) and K rate (34.7%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That all goes before mentioning his wealth of success against this Braves&#8217; offence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Atlanta&#8217;s hitters are batting .171 against Snell, with way more combined strikeouts (19) than hits (seven).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ozuna 0.5 hits (-134):<\/strong> The one player who&#8217;s has decent career stats against Snell is Ozuna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They&#8217;ve only met eight times, but the slugger has two hits and two walks. Both knocks went for extra bases, with one being a home run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We don&#8217;t need the power or walks here, but Ozuna seemingly sees the ball well out of Snell&#8217;s hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This final leg isn&#8217;t asking for much while adding a ton of value to the parlay. It takes the final price from +135 to +400.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Braves vs. Dodgers predictions made at 3:06 p.m. ET on 04\/02\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Los Angeles Dodgers look to remain undefeated against the winless Atlanta Braves.
