The Dodgers enter the National League Division series as a team that is expected to roll past the young and inexperienced Atlanta Braves. The Braves have been rebuilding and have quite the collection of young talent but their time is not supposed to be for a few more seasons. That doesn’t mean the Dodgers will have an easy series at all.
The Dodgers may be as playoff tested as any team in the National League but even though they hold a considerable playoff experience advantage over the Braves, all bets are off for the NLDS. The Braves won 90 games this season shocking the league and taking the NL East throne from the Nationals who were supposed to cruise in a mediocre division.
