Prediction

The Dodgers will send Landon Knack to the mound, holding a 2-3 record with a 3.00 ERA, 52 strikeouts and 13 walks. Spencer Schwellenbach will start for the Braves with a 5-7 record and a 3.78 ERA. While Knack has shown promise, his back-and-forth journey to Triple-A has limited him from being a go-to arm to this point in the season. Schwellenbach, on the other hand, has been one of the most reliable arms for Atlanta. Slight edge to the Braves at their home park.
