The Los Angeles Dodgers and Atlanta Braves completed one of the most anticipated matchups of the regular season in what many considered a potential National League Championship preview, but the results ended up being somewhat lopsided.
The Braves took the first three games of the series before the Dodgers were able to avoid being swept by pulling off a victory on Sunday. Atlanta outscored the Dodgers 19-15 over the four games, but 11 of L.A.’s runs came while they were already trailing.
Some of that was due to the Dodgers’ struggles with runners in scoring position, but it also was related to the quality of starts each team had.
