We have talked enough about the five-game losing streak, the bottom-feeding offense, and all the negatives.

Today, the Braves send their ace to the mound against a returning Dustin May in Los Angeles. May will be making his first start since May of 2023 after Tommy John surgery and then a freak accident in which he tore his esophagus while swallowing food.

Here are a few of the best bets for tonight’s game – one in which they stop the losing streak!

The Braves have only suffered two six-game losing streaks since 2021. Granted, both of those were last season….

I’m betting on the Braves ending the streak and getting on track behind Chris Sale tonight. Aces are stoppers and I’m betting on Sale to stop the streak tonight!

DraftKings Sportsbook currently has the Braves ML at +120.

Chris Sale vs. Dodgers Batters

Mookie Betts is hitting .333 with a .500 SLG off Sale in 12 career at-bats. He has two doubles and no home runs.

Freddie Freeman is 3 for 9 with two doubles and a homer off of Sale with a .899 SLG and a 1.222 OPS.

Teoscar Hernandez has the most at-bats against Sale, and he has struggled against the lefty. Hernandez is hitting .188 but has hit for power when he connects. He has two doubles and a homer in 16 at-bats of the 2024 NL Cy Young Award winner.

Overall, the Dodgers’ active hitters have a .219 average and a .287 OBP against Chris Sale in 73 at-bats with just two homers.

Talkin’ Tomahawk’s Braves Best Bet For Tonight

I’m keeping it simple tonight and taking the Braves ML at plus money. It’s rare to see Chris Sale on the mound with the Braves listed at plus money. Add in the fact that they are facing a pitcher who hasn’t pitched in nearly two full years.

The Braves end the losing streak tonight!
