Beating The Los Angeles Dodgers This Weekend MATTERS For The Atlanta Braves | Atlanta Braves Podcast
from Braves Today · host Bleav
The Braves open a three-game series at Dodger Stadium that feels bigger than a typical May set because a strong showing could shift public perception against MLB’s consensus top team. Atlanta enters 26-12 with an MLB-best division lead and strong odds, but the Dodgers still sit in a tier above. LA has been inconsistent lately and is missing key players, yet is getting big production from Hyeseong Kim, Andy Pages, and Dalton Rushing. The episode previews the pitching matchups—Chris Sale vs Emmett Sheehan, Spencer Strider vs Roki Sasaki, and Bryce Elder vs Justin Wrobleski —highlighting why Atlanta may be favored Friday, Saturday is volatile, and Sunday is unusually hard to predict, plus notes on late start times and daily scouting reports.
