I'm rooting for the Braves, but I'm predicting a Dodgers series win.

Thankfully the first pitch isn't too late despite it being on the West Coast.

First pitch here in Atlanta is set for 8:37 PM ET

Any chance the Braves got they have to win tonight. Cause Kershaw and Buehler go in game 2 and 3.

But we do hit lefties very well.

Can't be too surprised. Especially as an Alabama fan. Christ we play ULL and Gameday can't help but talk about it for 20-30 minutes.

Red Sox and Yankees were the two teams in the sport during the Regular Season, and hated rivals. I'm sure their ratings will be off the roof.

Braves will sweep. Obviously.

And yes, I will now take another bong hit.

Personally I don't think it matters for the Dodgers which pitcher takes the L in game 1 or game 2.

hahaha.... Hopefully they win

I say there's a 5% chance we don't get swept and a 0% chance we win the series. Normally even when we're not favored, I can see a path to victory, might not get there, but I can see a possibility. Only possibility I can see is the Dodgers just imploding.

Their pitching is good enough to shut out offense down. Our pitching isn't good enough to hold down their lineup.

Game 1 is our best shot at a win with Folty on the mound, but he's a head case, so I have no idea how he's gonna react.

But here's to hoping they prove me wrong, and regardless of how this series goes, this has been one of the more fun seasons in memory because it was so unexpected. Anything that happens from here on out is gravy, but I am a man that loves his gravy.

Our theme song tonight and the rest of the series:

I don't get it. Suzuki is the far better hitting catcher, and literally every starting pitcher has a lower ERA when Zuk is behind the plate as opposed to Flowers. They say Flowers is a better pitch framer and has a better throwing arm, but Zuk's offense and handling of the staff more than make up for it.
