Tonight marks the first Braves’ playoff game since 2013, and it will take place at the same venue as the last one. The Braves and Dodgers will kick off their NLDS series at Dodger Stadium, where Atlanta limped out of the playoffs five long years ago. Meanwhile the Dodgers will be playing in the postseason for the sixth consecutive year, a run which began during that fateful 2013 series against the Braves.
While some holdovers remain from both squads, these are essentially two completely different teams. A number of the current Braves were still in their teens when the last series was played.
