The Los Angeles Dodgers will look for the series sweep when they battle the Atlanta Braves on Sunday Night Baseball. The Dodgers (23-10), who lead the National League West, have won seven in a row. The Braves (14-18), who are third in the NL East, have dropped three straight.

First pitch from Truist Park in Atlanta is set for 7:10 p.m. ET. Los Angeles is a –155 favorite on the money line (risk $155 to win $100) in the latest Dodgers vs. Braves odds from DraftKings Sportsbook, while the total number of runs Vegas thinks will be scored, or the over-under, is 9.5. 

Before making any Dodgers vs. Braves picks, or MLB predictions, you need to see what the SportsLine Projection Model has to say.

The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every MLB game 10,000 times. It enters Week 6 of the 2025 MLB season on a 17-11 run on top-rated MLB picks (+276). Anybody following could have seen strong returns!

The model knows right-hander Dustin May (1-1, 3.95 ERA) will take the hill for Los Angeles. He has allowed three earned runs or fewer in four of his five starts this season. In a 5-3 win over the Colorado Rockies on April 14, he pitched six innings, allowing three hits, one earned run with no walks and seven strikeouts. In his last outing, he received a no-decision in a 7-6 win over the Miami Marlins on Monday. In that game, he pitched 5.1 innings and allowed five hits, three earned runs and three walks with three strikeouts.

The model also knows Atlanta will counter with right-handed pitcher Bryce Elder (1-1, 5.33 ERA). In five starts this year, he has pitched 27 innings, allowing 28 hits, 16 earned runs and 10 walks, while striking out 16. He is coming off a 6-3 win at Colorado on Monday, pitching six innings and allowing five hits, three earned runs and two walks with four strikeouts. He got a no-decision in a 4-1 win over St. Louis on April 23, pitching six innings and allowing five hits, one earned run and three walks, while striking out two.

The model has simulated Dodgers vs. Braves 10,000 times and the results are in. We can tell you the model is leaning Under on the run total, and it also says one side of the money line has ALL the value!
