Tip and bets
The first game showed that the guests do not have a big advantage over the Braves, and the hosts were able to defeat the eminent opponent. The Braves' players had more desire to win and proved it on the pitch. The Dodgers failed to demonstrate a solid strategy and looked tired at the end of the match.
In the second game, the visitors need to be more active; the hosts will try to hold back the Dodgers in the first innings and seize the initiative later, just like they did in the first match. We believe that both sides have a chance here, but suggest taking a risk and betting on the hosts with a positive handicap.
Our prediction -Asian handicap (+1.5) to the Atlanta Braves.
