This is the first time the two teams have squared since last season’s Division Series, where the Dodgers won the series in four games. This will be a good test for the Atlanta Braves to see if they’ve progressed at all since bowing out in the first round of the 2018 playoffs.
Los Angeles, which lost to Boston in the World Series, has picked up right where it left off at the end of last season.
The Dodgers are 22-14, which is the best record in the senior circuit and second best record in all of baseball.
