Dodgers & Braves meet again in NLDS

The upcoming postseason features a familiar showdown as Los Angeles and Atlanta prepare to clash in the National League Division Series. Play is scheduled to kick off at Dodger Stadium on Saturday after the Braves advanced past Philadelphia in the wild card round.

During the regular season, Atlanta secured five victories in six meetings against Los Angeles, anchored by strong pitching performances from veteran starter Chris Sale. Meanwhile, the top-seeded Dodgers capitalized on their first-round bye to rest and carefully organize their pitching rotation for the weekend opener.

Historically, these two franchises have frequently crossed paths at the top of the National League standings over the past ten years. Each organization previously claimed a postseason series victory en route to winning a World Series title earlier in the decade.

Subsequent regular-season dominance by both squads in 2022 and 2023 yielded a hundred wins apiece, though both stumbled in the division series during those campaigns. Now, after a brief playoff hiatus for Atlanta, the two rivals renew their postseason rivalry on the diamond.
