Game three of the NLDS will take place tonight in Atlanta as the Braves host the Los Angeles Dodgers in a game that will put one team just 2 wins away from the NLCS.

The Dodgers looked like the top seed in the NL when they took game one 5-3. Starter Tarik Skubal struck out 7 over 6 innings and held the Braves to just 1 earned run on 2 hits. Teoscar Hernandez and Kyle Tucker each went 2-for-4 with a home run and 2 RBIs. Atlanta’s Victor Mederos took the loss as he came in relief of Dylan Dodd and was only able to get through 0.1 inning and allowed 2 runs.

Atlanta came back in game two, though, and gutted out a touch 3-2 victory. Ray Kerr pitched another great start for the Braves, and the bullpen came in to pitch 6.1 innings of 2-run work. Michael Harris lifted the Braves offense as he finished the game with a double and a home run.

Tonight, the Dodgers will send Yoshinobu Yamamoto to the hill to face veteran Chris Sale of the Braves. This tipping-point game could come down to which starter can go deeper into the game.

Our Atlanta Braves vs Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction

Both pitching staffs have been solid all season. We'd like them to continue here in a game that will likely tip the scales to one direction. Chris Sale brings veteran leadership to the mound while Yamamoto brings an impressive 7-1 postseason record over his 2 years of work. We like this one to stay low-scoring and see it come down to who can make the most of their limited opportunities to score in this game.
