10 Dime -- BRAVES (Lowe) over Dodgers (Wolf)

BRAVES
NOTE: List only Lowe as Atlanta's starting pitcher

Braves starter Derek Lowe (10-7, 4.20 ERA) went through a little rough patch earlier in the season, but he seems to have rebounded nicely.

The veteran right-hander is 3-0 with a 2.63 ERA in his last four starts, and allowed two runs and nine hits in six innings Sunday in a 10-2 victory over Milwaukee.

Lowe will face the Dodgers for the first time since leaving Los Angeles in the offseason, and he is 0-1 with a 3.21 ERA in two career starts vs. his former team. He hasn't faced the Dodgers, though, since 2004.

Dodgers starter Randy Wolf (5-5, 3.43) has pitched well over his last six outings, going 2-2 with a 2.87 ERA. He alllowed two runs and seven hits in six innings Monday against St. Louis.

The veteran left-hander, however, is 0-4 with an 8.75 ERA in his last eight starts against Atlanta, and 4-11 with a 5.36 ERA in 25 career appearances (23 starts) against the Braves.

I think Lowe will have the Dodgers knocking his sinkerball into the ground all day. And I think Atlanta, which is 20-15 against southpaws, will get to Wolf once again. Take the Braves in this one.
