Before making any Dodgers vs. Braves picks, you NEED to see what SportsLine expert John Bollman has to say.

Bollman combines MLB front-office experience with a deep statistical background. Bollman, who has a master's degree in biostatistics, worked in the Toronto Blue Jays' analytics department in 2018, focusing on high-performance sports science and player development.

In his last 312 MLB picks, Bollman has gone 181-131, returning more than $5,400. Anyone who has followed his picks has seen HUGE returns!

Los Angeles is very familiar with its current situation, as it trailed Atlanta 3-1 in the NLCS last postseason before rallying for three straight victories and securing its third World Series appearance in four years. The Dodgers will be hoping for a much better offensive performance on Thursday as they managed only four singles in their 9-2 loss in Game 4. Chris Taylor has been Los Angeles' most productive hitter in the series, going 5-for-12 with two doubles, three RBIs and three stolen bases.

Eddie Rosario has been on fire this postseason, hitting safely in each of Atlanta's eight games while posting a pair of four-hit performances in the NLCS thus far. The 30-year-old left fielder went 4-for-5 with two homers, four RBIs and three runs scored in Game 4 as the Braves matched the franchise record of four blasts in a playoff game. They'll look to clinch the 18th NL pennant behind left-hander Max Fried, who has allowed two runs over 12 innings in two starts this postseason.

Now, Bollman has set his sights on Dodgers vs. Braves. We can tell you he is leaning Under 1.5 total bases for Los Angeles' Trea Turner, and he also has a money-line pick you won't want to miss! You ABSOLUTELY need to see it before locking in any MLB picks of your own.
