    Braves vs Dodgers NLDS thread

    Dodgers announce Kershaw and Ryu will start games 1 and 2 but have not announced what order

    I’d imagine Kershaw game 1 so you can bring him back for game 5 if need be

    Kersh vs Folty is gonna be a helluva matchup. Hopefully we get postseason Kershaw and not regular season Kershaw

    The Braves ranked second in the NL with a .780 OPS vs. LHPs.
    Acuna (.992 OPS), Freeman (.923) and Albies (.905) ranked 7th, 14th and 15th respectively in the NL vs. LHP
    Albies had a .492 OPS vs. RHP and a .921 OPS vs. LHP after the All-Star break https://t.co/B66fHJ9U9S

    Dansby Swanson did not take any swings today. It seems highly unlikely the Braves will place him on the NLDS roster.

    Going against Ryu for game 2 makes me feel a lot better!

    We all know how this goes.

    Game 1: Braves get blown out.
    Game 2: Braves win in dramatic fashion (we’re back in it! Momentum!)
    Game 3: Braves lose in convincing fashion. Probably also a blow out, but not necessarily. Either way, we’re never really “in” it.
    Game 4: This goes either one of two ways. Either the Braves lose in heart breaking fashion to end the season, or they win in dramatic fashion, similar to game 2 and force a game 5 (we got ‘em right where we want them!)
    Game 5 (if necessary): Braves lose in convincing fashion, maybe even blown out.

    I predict Albies makes the final out of the season.

    I'm thrilled we're here, and I realize the level of our opponent... I won't melt unless snit does something really stupid to cause us a game

    Ryu's been lights out for the last month, has a 1.9 ERA or so.

    Anyone know who the umpires will be? I already have a feeling a blown call will cost us at least one game.

    Braves are going to be the underdog in this series. That would make a win even sweeter. Let’s go Braves!

    I predict we win game 1 Folty vs. Kershaw. After that Dodgers crush us. Hope I'm wrong, but years of getting my hopes up in the playoffs have changed me in a bad way.
