As the Dodgers got ready to welcome in the Atlanta Braves for a big four-game series, there was a sense of hope around the team. They had been rolling through the month of August and gained some ground on Atlanta record-wise.
But two games into the series, and it feels likely that the Braves may have gotten the best of LA in this one. The Dodgers still have a chance to finish the series tied at two games, but it will take a much better effort than they have shown so far.
Manager Dave Roberts believes that his team has left something on the table in the first two games of the series.
