Dodgers to Face a Tough Pitching Matchup in Game 1 of the NLCS

The time for the Dodgers to celebrate their Division Series win over the Giants is done. The champagne was popped and the beer was flowing, but it’s now time to look forward. Los Angeles will head to Atlanta to take on the Braves in the National League Championship Series starting this Saturday.

But the Dodgers have a very tough matchup to start out the series against the Braves. Atlanta announced today that LHP Max Fried would be getting the start in Game 1 to get things started. Los Angeles has yet to officially name a starter, though Max Scherzer is in the running.
