Atlanta Braves – Los Angeles Dodgers

Los Angeles arrives with favorable momentum and a rotation with a 3.48 ERA, while Atlanta remains 21 games above .500 but has lost seven of its last ten games and is averaging 2.1 runs per game over a recent seven-game road trip.

Atlanta leads the season series 2-1 and won two of the three games played in Los Angeles from May 8 to 10, 2026.

Andy Pages is out for at least four weeks following a fracture of his left hand. Tyler Glasnow has just returned after experiencing back spasms. No other injury information is available.

Both teams lead their divisions and are playing an important series for home-field advantage and direct qualification for the Division Series. Los Angeles has a four-game lead over Atlanta in the race for the bye.

An Atlanta series win would preserve its advantage in the first head-to-head tiebreaker.
