In control of the National League Championship Series and operating under a full head of steam, the Atlanta Braves know too well that getting comfortable at this stage has a way of wrecking future plans.
The Braves have a 2-0 series lead on the Los Angeles Dodgers heading into Tuesday night’s Game 3 at Dodger Stadium thanks to a pair of walk-off singles in the opening two games in Atlanta.
And while looking ahead to a Game 3, they can’t help but look back. Last year, the Braves had a 2-0 lead in the NLCS, and they even pushed that to a 3-1 advantage before the Dodgers rallied to reach the World Series.
