Freddie Freeman Looks To Extend His Hit Streak In Atlanta
Freddie Freeman made his emotional return to Atlanta on Friday, returning to Truist Park as a member of the road team after spending the first 12 seasons of his career with the Braves.

The first baseman is batting .416 with three home runs and 11 RBI over that stretch.

Atlanta Hopes To Avoid First Home Series Loss In June

Dodgers vs Braves Pick & Insights
Dodgers: Keys to Victory
Tony Gonsolin has been one of the most consistent pitchers in all of baseball this season, and the Dodgers have an 8-1 SU record in his last nine starts to show for it. As long as Gonsolin puts in his usual five or six innings of high-quality work, Los Angeles should be in good position to earn a win as a Dodgers vs Braves prediction.
Braves: Keys to Victory
Spencer Strider had been rock solid in the bullpen and in the starting rotation before getting lit up by the Giants in his last trip to the mound. The Braves have a deep and talented enough offense to scratch out some runs on Gonsolin and this elite Dodgers bullpen, but they'll only be close enough to win as a Dodgers vs Braves pick if Strider bounced back with a strong start.
