As of Saturday morning, the St. Louis Cardinals held a one-game lead over the Milwaukee Brewers in the National League Central and the Atlanta Braves will host either team on Thursday in Game 1 of the NLDS.
In 34 all-time postseason appearances, the Atlanta Braves have faced the St. Louis Cardinals four times, which is tied for most with the New York Yankees.
The matchup with the Cardinals has not been particularly kind for the Braves.
1982 NLCS
The Braves were swept in three games and outscored 17-5 over the series. Not shocking for that era of baseball, the Braves did not hit a single home run in the three games.
