Atlanta Braves at Los Angeles Dodgers

  • June 3rd – June 5th
  • Dodger Stadium

Ok I admit, this series isn’t necessarily must watch, but Dodger Stadium is my favorite venue in all of baseball, and I will most likely be in attendance during this series. The Dodgers have played well of late, and are close to locking up another NL West Division title.

In this mid-season battle between the Atlanta Braves and a playoff team in the Dodgers, it’s important in the respect that if the Braves are competitive next season, this series will be a litmus test to ascertain if they are capable of remaining in contention as well as winning on the road. We all remember the heartbreak of the 2013 Divisional Series against the Dodgers, so every time the Braves play at Chavez Ravine it is another chance for revenge.
