The Atlanta Braves and Los Angeles Dodgers will meet for the second straight season in the NLCS which will get underway with Game 1 Saturday night at Truist Park. Dominant pitching and a timely home run by Freddie Freeman helped the Braves to a 3-1 series win over the Milwaukee Brewers in the NLDS. The Dodgers pulled out a 2-1 win against the San Francisco Giants Thursday night to punch their ticket and set up the rematch.
The Dodgers and Braves are no strangers in the postseason. Los Angeles eliminated Atlanta 3-1 in the NLDS in 2018.
