MLB Playoff Picture 2023: Hot Takes and Top Storylines for October 9 Schedule

The two best teams in the National League are in danger of falling behind by two games in their respective NLDS matchups.

Atlanta and the Los Angeles Dodgers must win Game 2 at home on Monday to prevent going on the road with a two-game deficit.

Atlanta played far better than Los Angeles in Game 1, but its record-setting offense failed to back up Spencer Strider.

The Dodgers were multiple runs behind the Arizona Diamondbacks before their first at-bat and never recovered from the onslaught on Clayton Kershaw.

Arizona and the Philadelphia Phillies should play with nothing to lose behind Zac Gallen and Zack Wheeler.
