The Braves return home struggling while the Dodgers arrive on a six-game win streak, setting up three marquee pitching matchups: Tyler Glasnow vs Bryce Elder, Roki Sasaki vs A.J. Smith-Shawver, and Yoshinobu Yamamoto vs Chris Sale. The episode breaks down Atlanta’s offensive concerns, LA’s dangerous lineup, Glasnow’s workload and the Dodgers’ bullpen, and three keys for Atlanta: capitalize early, avoid free baserunners that turn solo shots into crooked innings, and preserve the bullpen. It also revisits Atlanta’s May series win in Los Angeles and what different outcomes would mean for October confidence.
