Max Fried, Braves hope to quiet Freddie Freeman, Dodgers

Field Level Media

There are 2,430 games in a Major League Baseball season, and some are not to be ignored. Take Tuesday's meeting between the visiting Atlanta Braves and Los Angeles Dodgers, which comes with a circle around it.

Not only are the teams the participants in each of the past two National League Championship Series, but the Tuesday matchup features Braves ace left-hander Max Fried (0-2, 5.73 ERA) and Dodgers star right-hander Walker Buehler (1-0, 3.38).

Adding another layer to the drama is the fact that Fried is a Los Angeles-area native who will be making his third career start at Dodger Stadium.
