The Atlanta Braves were able to end their four-game series with the Washington Nationals on a good note with a 5-1 win at Truist Park Thursday to salvage a split in the series. Now they will turn their attention to a big three-game set with the Los Angeles Dodgers that will get underway on Friday night. This will be the first meeting between the Braves and the Dodgers since Atlanta’s loss in the NLCS last October.
When the 2021 schedule was finalized, this series could have been looked at as a mid-June highlight, but it currently looks like a bit of a mismatch on paper.
