The Braves are headed to Los Angeles for the NLDS after a dramatic Wild Card Series win over Philadelphia. Barrett Sallee and Chris Dimino preview Game 1 and the entire Braves-Dodgers matchup: the pitching plan around Chris Sale and Tyler Mahle, how Atlanta’s bullpen could be deployed, why Michael Harris II is swinging a hot bat, Matt Olson’s matchup with Tarik Skubal, and the Dodgers’ loaded October lineup featuring Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts and Kyle Tucker. Plus, why the Braves need to find a way to make Skubal work in the Los Angeles heat — and why winning Game 1 could shape the entire series.
