The Los Angeles Dodgers are in Atlanta for a massive three-game series with the Braves — and it has all the makings of a playoff preview. On Braves Central, Chris Dimino and Barrett Sallee break down what’s at stake for Atlanta, the continued concerns surrounding the Braves offense, why Bryce Elder is under the microscope in Game 1, and which Braves hitters need to step up against one of baseball’s deepest pitching staffs. They also discuss Matt Olson, Ronald Acuña Jr., Ozzie Albies and Michael Harris II, the Dodgers’ star-studded roster, Max Muncy’s underrated career, Atlanta’s bullpen, Mauricio Dubón taking over at shortstop and why this series could have major implications for National League playoff positioning.
