Dodgers-Braves NLDS Game 4 FAQ (Wed., 6 ET, FS1/FOX One)

The Braves and Dodgers return to Truist Park for a high-stakes Game 4 of the NLDS, where Atlanta will look to avoid elimination after splitting the first three games. Tyler Mahle, acquired midseason and now sporting a 1.99 ERA over his last nine starts, will take the mound for the Braves, while Tyler Glasnow—who posted a 1.69 ERA in six postseason appearances last year—leads the Dodgers.

The matchup pits two right-handers with contrasting trajectories: Mahle’s resurgence since joining Atlanta contrasts with Glasnow’s limited regular-season action due to injury, though he’s finished strong with back-to-back double-digit strikeout outings. Atlanta’s lineup faces challenges, including Ronald Acuña Jr.’s lingering right knee issues, which could force manager Walt Weiss to shuffle positions again, potentially moving Ha-Seong Kim to shortstop despite his recent struggles at the plate.

Meanwhile, the Dodgers aim to secure their third straight NL Championship Series berth, with Glasnow’s track record in October—including a World Series-clinching performance—adding to the pressure.
