- This is a play on the LOS ANGELES DODGERS for our MLB Saturday Sweet Spot. The Dodgers took Game Five in dominating fashion as they won 11-2 to force the series back to Atlanta and we like the momentum on their side heading into Game Six. Los Angeles was in the same situation a year ago, trailing 2-0 and 3-1 in the NLCS before coming back to win it and while that was on a neural field, the true road atmosphere should not hurt them here. Max Scherzer was originally scheduled to take the mound for Game Six on Saturday, but he was scratched due to arm fatigue so Walker Buehler will be taking his place and we have seen a significant line move as Los Angeles has a much shorter price based on the change. Buehler was dominant in the regular season with a 2.47 ERA and struck 212 in 207.2 innings. He was not sharp last time out but with everything on the line, he will step up as Saturday night will be his 15th career postseason start and that goes a long way. The Dodgers are 8-3 in their last 11 road games. Ian Anderson has put together a solid season but he is catching some hot Los Angeles bats and he struggled in his first start against the Dodgers. He allowed two runs on three hits and three walks in just three innings and the pressure is on to keep the Braves in this and avoid an elimination Game Seven. 10* (923) Los Angeles Dodgers
