Los Angeles will trot out Tyler Anderson carrying a 13-2 overall record to go along with a 2.69 ERA. Anderson will continue his success this season as he maneuvers his way through the New York lineup in the first inning to post a zero.
Jacob deGrom will be on the bump for New York as one of the best pitchers in all of baseball. deGrom is 3-1 on the year with a 2.15 ERA and could be in question for the Cy Young Award this season if he qualified with appearances. Either way deGrom will continue to shine Wednesday night as he posts a first inning shutout.

Austin Riley comes into Wednesday night as the best hitter in one of the best lineups in all of baseball. Riley leads the Atlanta Braves this season with a .288 batting average to go along with a team high 31 home runs.
Riley bats right in the heart of the Atlanta order and the Braves will lead on him heavily to assist in breaking this three-game skid. Austin will find lots of success Wednesday as he will see the plate 4-5 times at least as he gets on base multiple times to go over his prop total.
