The Los Angeles Dodgers and Atlanta Braves begin the 2021 National League Championship Series on Saturday in a rematch of last season's NLCS, won by the eventual World Series champion Dodgers.
Atlanta has home-field advantage in this series as the NL East champion, with Los Angeles having been forced to a wild-card spot despite 106 regular-season wins. In the NLDS, the Braves beat the Milwaukee Brewers in four games while the Dodgers needed all five to outlast the rival San Francisco Giants.
In last's NLCS, played at Globe Life Field in Texas, the Braves took a 3-1 series lead before the Dodgers stormed back to win Game 7.
