The Atlanta Braves look to sweep away the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday night.

After sweeping the Rockies and Pirates, the Dodgers could find themselves on the other end of the broom tonight. They’ve dropped the first two games of this series both by one run, 4-3 and 6-5.

It should be a great pitching matchup with Yoshinobu Yamamoto set to face off against Chris Sale.

Here are the odds, probable pitchers, and predictions for Dodgers vs. Braves on Thursday, Aug. 27.

Dodgers vs. Braves Best MLB Prop Bets

Braves Best MLB Prop Bet

• Ozzie Albies OVER 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (+150)

Ozzie Albies is on a little hot stretch here, going 7 for 16 with two runs scored and two RBI in his last four games. He went OVER 1.5 HRR in all four of those contests, and has gone 3 for 7 with a run and two RBI so far in this series.

I’ll take this +150 price for Albies to keep that up in the series finale tonight.

Dodgers vs. Braves Prediction and Pick

I broke down this pick in SI Betting’s daily MLB best bets column, Walk-Off Wagers:

The Braves have Chris Sale on the mound as they go for the sweep of the Dodgers.

Los Angeles was unable to do much against Bryce Elder and AJ Smith-Shawver so far this series, ending a six-game winning streak for the Dodgers – granted, those victories came against the Rockies and Pirates.

The Dodgers are also just 23-19 vs. LHP (57-34 vs. RHP) on the season, and the Braves have won four straight meetings against Los Angeles.

Pick: Braves -119
