NLCS 2021: A look back at playoff history between Braves and Dodgers

It’s official: The Atlanta Braves and Los Angeles Dodgers will meet in the National League Championship Series after their respective wins over the Milwaukee Brewers and the San Francisco Giants.

For Atlanta, it’s a shot at redemption after the team lost to Los Angles in Game 7 of the NLCS last year.

Of course, each franchise has a storied history in Major League Baseball and with each other.

The two teams used to be rivals in the NL West and compete for division pennants until the Braves moved to the NL East When the late Hank Aaron broke Babe Ruth’s home run record, it came against the Dodgers on April 8, 1974.
