The age-old battle between youth and experience will be on display in the NLDS. The up-and-coming Atlanta Braves will travel west to challenge the playoff-tested Los Angeles Dodgers in what could be the most intriguing series in the opening round.
The Braves are making their first postseason appearance since 2013. Many felt this team was still a year or two away from a postseason return because they were depending on a young and unproven core. Yeah, about that. Ronald Acuña Jr. and Ozzie Albies have already shown they are more than just contributors. They are elevators capable of putting the team on their back.
