Chris’ Pick
I’m sticking with the Dodgers here. I just don’t trust Reese Olson in a spot like this and Bobby Miller keeps finding ways to get the job done when called upon for the Dodgers. Los Angeles keeps forging ahead and have their sights set on Atlanta right now, so give me the Dodgers for the win here.
