Eddie Rosario returns to the leadoff spot in Game 5, Freddie Freeman hitting third

The Atlanta Braves get their first crack at eliminating the Los Angeles Dodgers while punching their ticket for the World Series. Atlanta bounced back from a loss in Game 3 by beating the Dodgers 9-2 in Game 4. They now have a 3-1 lead in the series and three chances to take the series. Their best chance may come tonight with Max Fried on the mound while facing a bullpen game from the Dodgers. With Max Scherzer and Walker Buehler looming for Games 6 and 7 back in Atlanta, there is a sense of urgency for the Braves to finish this off in Game 5.
