Anibal Sanchez has been rolling for the Atlanta Braves Fernando Rodney Jersey , who are -175 favorites against the Miami Marlins on Wednesday.Sanchez will take on rookie pitcher Pablo Lopez, who has struggled in his brief major-league career.Betting Odds: Miami Marlins at Atlanta BravesMarlins: +157 (Pablo Lopez)Braves: -175 (Anibal Sanchez)Total: 8.5 (-105/-115)First pitch: 7:35 p.m. ET>> Follow Paul Lo Duca in The Action Network App to get free alerts on all his MLB bets during the season.Sometimes a pitcher just finds it. Look at Justin Verlander or Charlie Morton or even CC Sabathia. Anibal Sanchez may need to be added to that list because he’s been terrific for the Braves this season.Sanchez has logged a 3.00 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 8.54 K/9 in 78 innings with the Braves this season. Getting that kind of production out of a 34-year-old who looked like his career was over has been gigantic for Atlanta this season. But will it continue?Sanchez’s xFIP (a regressed version of FIP that gives a truer indication of a pitcher’s performance) sits at 4.07, which isn’t great but also isn’t bad, and suggests he’s running hot. However, I think there’s more good than bad here and trust Sanchez to navigate Miami’s weak lineup.Even though Sanchez struggled in his last assignment against the Dodgers, he’s been in form over the last month. In his four outings leading into that tilt, he logged at least six innings and didn’t allow more than three earned runs.Sanchez will take on rookie right-hander Pablo Lopez tonight. The 22-year-old has struggled since coming up to the majors. He’s yielded four or more runs in three of his last four starts and isn’t a pitcher who will rack up the strikeouts. Although the Braves hit better against lefties (.784 OPS) than righties (.738 OPS), their lineup should get to the young righty early and often and give Sanchez run support.This is a good opportunity to take a shot on the run line and bank on Lopez struggling to get outs. With that being the case, I also think there’s value on backing the Braves on the first five innings line.The Bet: Braves -1.5 (+115) and Braves F5 Innings (-120) Harry How/Getty ImagesThe Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 2-1 in 13 innings to take Game 4 of the NLCS at Dodger Stadium on Tuesday night and knot the series at two games apiece.Cody Bellinger sealed the victory with a walk-off single that scored Manny Machado from second base after the sides engaged in a lengthy 1-1 stalemate that began in the top of the fifth inning.MLB MLBGOODNIGHT, LOS ANGELES! #Walkoff #NLCS fepDXErYTT Dodgers' Hopes Doomed Without More OffenseDuring the regular season, the Dodgers didn't have any trouble generating offense. They ranked first in the National League in runs scored (804) Jorge De La Rosa Jersey , and they hit 17 more home runs than the second-ranked Brewers.Based on the NLCS, you'd never guess they were so dynamic.Despite Tuesday's Game 4 win, the Dodgers' numbers at the plate in three of their last four games have been downright woeful.Excluding the Game 2 win at Miller Park, L.A. has now struck out 44 times and left 22 runners stranded on base across Games 1, 3 and 4. Those numbers were bolstered Tuesday by 17 whiffs and persistent failures with men on as the Dodgers left eight runners stranded.FOX Sports: MLB MLBONFOXThe strikeouts are piling up for the Dodgers tonight. kWSC68JmfPIn Game 5, the Dodgers have to reverse that trend against Brewers starter Wade Miley.Flipping the switch won't be an easy task considering the Dodgers mustered only two hits in 5.2 innings against Miley in Game 2. With that said, seeing the southpaw for a second time in five days should put them in a more comfortable position as they seek to take a 3-2 series lead. Brewers' Bullpen Can Carry Them to World SeriesThe Brewers entered Game 4 knowing they likely wouldn't receive a particularly lengthy outing from starter Gio Gonzalez, who was pitching on four days rest.What they weren't counting on was Gonzalez departing with no outs in the second inning after he rolled his left ankle trying to field a comeback liner that ricocheted off his glove.As a result, the Brewers' renowned bullpen was thrust into action a few innings earlier than expected. True to form, one of baseball's premier relief groups was up to the task.Rookie Freddy Peralta came on for Gonzalez and twirled three no-hit innings in his first postseason appearance. Fellow first-year stud Corbin Burnes followed suit by tossing two perfect innings with three strikeouts.Greg Beacham gregbeachamFreddy Peralta is absolutely filthy, and the Brewers hadnt even had to use him before tonight in this postseason. Thats one helluva bullpen in Milwaukee.Jon Morosi jonmorosiFreddy Peralta, 22 Taijuan Walker Jersey , and Corbin Burnes, 23, are the youngest pitchers to appear for the Brewers all season. Their combined line tonight: 5 innings, 0 runs. MLBONFOX MLBNetwork MLBIn all, six Brewers relievers combined to allow five hits and record all 17 of Milwaukee's strikeouts over the game's final 11.2 innings.MLB Stat of the Day MLBStatoftheDayThe Brewers bullpen has been lights out tonight.Their 17 Ks are the most EVER in a #postseason game. 1ocDYwyXzgAny club would be envious of that depth, and it should continue to buoy the Brewers' pursuit of a world championship even after Tuesday's defeat.Tired arms and all, it would be foolish to count that unit out. Kershaw Needs Best Postseason Outing to Save Dodgers SeasonThe Clayton Kershaw Postseason Narrative has become one of Major League Baseball's most dense and complex texts over the past few years.On some nights, he looks like a world-beater capable of stymying the game's most daunting lineups. Just look at Game 2 of the NLDS, when the southpaw shut down the Atlanta Braves with only two hits allowed over eight shutout innings.But then there are the other nights鈥攖he ones that have largely come to define his postseason experience.Long knocked for his inability to rise to the occasion on the game's biggest stage, Kershaw has found consistent productivity hard to come by since he made his first playoff start 10 years ago. Since then, he has gone 8-8 with a 4.26 ERA in 21 starts, numbers hardly befitting of his caliber of talent.In Game 1 of the NLCS http://www.diamondbacksfanproshop.com/authentic-zack-greinke-jersey , Kershaw was downright disappointing. He surrendered four earned runs and six hits, including a home run to Brewers pitcher Brandon Woodruff, over three innings."I think it's hard enough to try and win a postseason game," he said, per ESPN.com's Alden Gonzalez. "I know more than anybody knows that."On Wednesday, he'll have a chance to author an epic response to that series-opening letdown. If he can, the Dodgers will have life when the series shifts back to Milwaukee for Game 6.If not, Los Angeles will have to reckon with yet another postseason dud. What's Next?The Dodgers will host Game 5 on Wednesday afternoon at 5:05 p.m. ET.
